Collin Rocker — Time is a Prison lyrics

Lyrics

We’re born into a cell
Size of the world
Ain’t given nothing but our lives
Until we lock up a ball and chain
Around our wrists
Hear «tick tock» until we die
But life rolls by faster than a car
As we watch the face on the wall
Through the bars
Now you wish you started living
Before you fell behind
Cause time is a prison
You can see the sun’s been grinning
Down on the mountains
A hundred yards behind the wire
And you held your key, leaving
Below your pillow
As if you’re waiting
For some invitation
But life rolls by faster than a car
As we watch the face on the wall
Through the bars
Now you wish you started living
Before you fell behind
Cause time is a prison
