peyton 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
wwimming 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

everyone's pointing their fingers
always condemning me
and nobody knows what I believe

I believe
