Rocky Votolato - Mix Tapes/Cellmates (Lyrics) video free download

Lyrics:

I am a prisoner in the sunlight

You are my cellmate in the darkness

There's a box full of mix tapes with titles you came up with

They can show us where we came from

But not how to get back there

Listening to the songs can't heal my broken fingers

It's just weight for the anchor to keep your ship here

Goldfish crackers in a zip-lock bag

In a gas station garbage can

I'm filling up this evening so I won't have to at 6am

On my way into work but hey, that could have been me

Working behind that counter on the curb there smoking

We're really not that different just a few steps from exploding

And I'm serving time til I've earned the right

To go back to the place where we started from

Now I'm serving time til I've earned the right

Baby I swear one day we'll get the money straight

I am a prisoner in the sunlight

You are my cellmate in the darkness

I just hope I wake up before this streetlight changes

You know this world is eating him alive

But you just can't find the metaphor to describe

The bottle of pills and the emptiness in the soft light

And I'm serving time til I've earned the right

To go back to the place where we started from

Yeah I'm serving time til I've earned the right

Baby I swear one day we'll get the money straight
