about

written by j brady and j roth

lyrics

i tried most everything to make you one that i could blame
when i fall down to find my teeth lodged in the dirt and grime
but everything i try blows up in my face, hair on fire
like a bottle rocket aimed through my eyes, to the skies

and this
isn't the way i choose to be
if you asked me, i would rather

run to the place where i could hide my face and look away
from everything that matters like getting up and growing old
with something light inside like a bottle rocket growing bright
bursting out my head, chandelier on the ceiling going red

and this isn't the way i choose to be
if you ask me, i would pack my things and hop a train to philadelphia
