Swallowing Swords

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 »

Never let go those years of discovery
There's only so much a pair of arms can carry
Embrace these years of necessity
Put your mouth around your double edged sword
Your unhappiness is what you are
The same nervousness that makes me good at what I do
Is my enemy today and will be my whole life through
I'll spend it with you
I have climbed a mountain
You've swam in every ocean
You've heard a million songs and never tried to sing
I've read hundreds of books and never wrote anything
I love you -- Just the same
