[Intro]
[Verse]
We sat roadside frozen in the night
Bitter cold biting no end in sight
Moonlight wrapped us like a cold embrace
Fog swallowed everything no trace
They pulled us in without a word or why
Behind walls that block the open sky
Concrete rolls high barbed wire throne
No way out trapped to the bone
[Chorus]
Bro listen up your lil Ernesto hear what he sayin’
Now I pace these shadowed corridors deep
With my invisible cellmate secrets we keep
Like ghosts we drift through halls we don't own
Castles we dreamed of never our home
[Verse]
Life sentence handed down no parole date
Tomorrow's a blur locked behind the gate
Freedom was golden now just a ghost
God I still whisper "What hurt the most?"
Nothing stirs but black cars creeping by
Crows watch from wires the only eyes
Judge swung his gavel sentence carved in stone
Blood-red robe dripping left us alone
[Chorus]
Bro listen up your lil Ernesto hear what he sayin’
Now I pace these shadowed corridors deep
Share nothing no more the connection's asleep
My invisible cellmate vanished for good
Gone forever like we always knew he would
[Solo]
[Verse]
One winter evening you slipped away quiet
No light left flickering no final riot
A single candle died in the freeze
Ignited oceans drowned every breeze
Eyes chase horizons across endless seas
But the waves just crash no rescue no peace
Phantoms in sheets that once held us tight
Chains fell away but the weight stays right
Castles we never walked crumbling to dust
Ruins of family broken trust
[Chorus]
Bro listen up your lil Ernesto hear what he sayin’
Now I pace these shadowed corridors deep
Share nothing no more the connection's asleep
My invisible cellmate vanished for good
Gone forever like we always knew he would
[Verse]
Just these words left echoing low
Guitar in my hands strings tied in woe
Living through echoes memories that sting
Strings of remembrance the songs they bring
Chords once of love now regret's sharp edge
Plank of remorse where my heart's been pledged
[Chorus]
Bro listen up your lil Ernesto hear what he sayin’
Now I pace these shadowed corridors deep
Share nothing no more the connection's asleep
My invisible cellmate vanished for good
Gone forever, like we always knew he would
