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 »

Come along with me now cause there are things I've been
Dying to tell you 
The best of the worst things that you never
Needed to know 

This is the kind of comedy where no one's
Laughing, cause it's hard to 
I'm a punch line who's punch-drunk
With my fist in a broken mirror 

There's a party nearby 
I can hear
Laughter in the distance and it all comes clear 
Sounds to simple

Love is the only answer 
Everything else is just a train wreck
I'm gonna stay up all night every night for the rest of my life 
'Til

The lines around my eyes grow deeper and more defined 
You might
Ask me aren't you dead inside and so damn tired 
I'll say I have no

Idea I'm not sleeping until after the dying is over 
I can hear laughter
In the distance and it all comes clear 
Sounds to simple 

Love is the
Only answer 
When love's a train wreck you're a mistake
