Ever Onward

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
You keep these feelings, no one knows
What ever happened to the young man's heart
Swallowed by pain, as he slowly fell apart
And I'm staring down the barrel of a 45,
Swimming through the ashes of 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]
Everyone's pointing their fingers
Always condemning me
And nobody knows what I believeI believe
[CHORUS]

45 Shinedown

I wish I could express what this songs makes me feel. It almost makes me feel free...like I freed myself, because at one point this is how I felt. I had fallen apart. Thankfully to my own inner strength and the help of my dear friend Rachael (in my sophomore year) I overcame the feeling of wanting to look down the barrel of a 45 magnum. LOL I know I am wierd...but i was listening to this song, and I love it so I just had to write it. BYE
