Rocky Votolato

Rocky Votolato (born March 8, 1977 in Dallas, Texas), is an American singer-songwriter. He was raised in a small town called Frost, roughly 50 miles south of Dallas, until the age of 13. After his parents were divorced, his mother remarried and moved the family to the Pacific Northwest in 1991, where he attended Inglemoor High School in Kenmore, Washington.[citation needed] Alienated by his southern roots, the isolation lead him to focusing all of his attention on learning to play guitar and writing songs. Inspired by seeing many punk shows including bands like Jawbreaker and Fugazi, he started several different musical projects while in high school. more »

I don't want to fight about who's pulling the weight
Wait for me upstairs I'll be up to rub your neck
I want to be let down and disenchanted
To walk through a cloud of disappointment, help me out
I thought I escaped but the snakes still came
Wrapped around my body tangled up in my ribcage
We just need to find songs we want to hear
The sounds been making my blue eyes go gray all these years

I'm suffocating now
I overdosed somehow on my own medicine
I know all to well
The demons I can't handle
Can hurt the ones I love
If I can hold them off, just long enough
I'll get my mind straight
That ought to hold them off, just long enough
I'll push this down inside

I know if we'd never met I'd be dead by now
I've been fucked up, a nervous wreck as long as I can remember
But you write the story so pick up the pen
Draw me pretty pictures of everything I hope to live

We grew up way too fast
Forget about the past
Nothing can change that now
You'll learn to like the pain
And turn it into something
That everyone else can love
That ought to hold them off, just long enough
I'll get my mind straight
That ought to hold them off, just long enough
I'll push this down inside
