  S1:
  Send away for a priceless gift 

  One not subtle, one not on the list 

  Send away for a perfect world 

  One not simply so absurd 

  In these times of doing what you're told 

  Keep these feelings, no one knows

  Whatever happened 

  To the young man's heart? 

  Swallowed by pain 

  As he slowly fell apart

  R1:
  And I'm starin' down the barrel of a .45 (.45) 

  Swimmin' through the ashes of another life (Another life) 

  No real reason to accept the way things have changed 

  Starin' down the barrel of a .45

  Send a message to the unborn child 

  "Keep your eyes open, for a while 

  In a box high up on the shelf 

  Left for you, no one else 

  There's a piece of a puzzle known as life 

  Wrapped in guilt, sealed up tight"
