Casey - Sleep Lyrics






If I'd had known, that from the minute I was born,
That the price of my existence would be the weight of expectation
Then I wouldn't fucking be here.
How can I focus on the life I'm "supposed to lead"
When everyday I struggle with existing?

I've dug a hole so deep in my mind,
That I can no longer see the light of the sun;
I can no longer hear the voices of people I love.

I've been breaking my hands
Trying to carry the burden
That I've placed on myself.
I'm so afraid of the end
I've lead myself to believe
I may never be happy again.

I think the hardest part of all is trying to justify self-deprecation
When I am constantly surrounded by sources of love and affection.

I know that I'm not on my own,
But I can't shake the feeling
That I'm in this alone.
There's no one that I feel safe with.

All I've wanted for so long
Is to succumb to a sleep
That I am not afraid of.

Give me the strength to love myself,
As I am told that I am loved.
May I believe, despite my doubt,
That someday I'll be good enough.

Give me the strength to love myself,
As I am told that I am loved.
May I believe, despite my doubt,
That someday I'll be good enough.

Hindsight is a miserable thing,
When you don't know where you're going
And you don't care where you've been.

Hindsight is a miserable thing,
When you don't know where you're going
And you don't care where you've been.

    Who the fuck can dislike something as pure and raw as this poetry ? Even Verlaine or Baudelaire would have acclaimed this poem! DAMN!

  2. S.... K....

    I been crying this whole album and it really touched me in so many different levels from where I came from and from me coming from a darker place when I was dealing with depression too with my ex and music never stopped me from my suicidal thoughts and singing and rocking out was the only place to pursue my dreams and it was my home and still is today... <3
