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 »

Lead me through these cities of imaginary trends 
Something's gonna be changing come the morning time my friend 
As fickle as these streets are they might not even wait around till then
I've got a lot to loose so come and take it from me quick

Everything you loose if it makes you stronger it makes you sick
Take these cities from me I'll build buildings up with my own
Bare hands 
The uppers aren't necessary the guilt is the coal

That keeps the fire burning to drive out the cold 
That creeps
In every corner crack and never leaves you alone 
Till the lonely

Messengers come calling you back home 
The trees are stacked
In rows on the side of the road 
Stripped of any dignity a birthing

May have had 
100 thousand crucified on the Mojave I-5 line
Singers shepherds and salesmen all longing for someone
To kill the joy of wondering and end all their desire

To help them to remember that the road is nothing but a liar
The uppers aren't necessary the guilt is the coal 
That keeps
The fire burning to drive out the cold 

That creeps in every
Corner crack and never leaves you alone 
'Til the lonely
Messengers come calling you back 

To the red door, cracked
And crooked walk way 
The fence impaling the stars 
Ghostly

Keepers lead the way through railroads of abandoned cars
The tracks and city streets cut through like scars
