"45"

Leave A Whisper

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

What ever happened

To the young man's heart?

Swallowed by pain

As he slowly fell apart

CHORUS::

And I'm staring down

The barrel of a 45 (45)

And I'm swimming through

The ashes of another life

(Another life)

No real reason to

Accept the way

Things have changed

Staring 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

What ever happened

To the young man's heart?

Swallowed by pain

As he slowly fell apart

CHORUS::

Cuz everyone's pointing their fingers

Always condemning me

Nobody knows what I believe

I believe

CHORUS::

And I'm staring down

The barrel of a 45

And I'm swimming through

The ashes of another life

There is no real reason to

Accept the way

Things have changed

Staring down the

Barrel of a 45

45

45

Staring down the

Barrel of a 45

I always cry when I hear this song, especially the live version. I think the music video is just heartbreaking. I want to smack the blond chick in the video, and then I want to hug Brent because he looks oh-so-sad.

Especially when he's sitting in the corner holding the box.

</3

It's still a good song,though.
