CASEY LYRICS

1. Teeth

I don't need you like you think I do I just want you here tonight
I know this might sound crazy but my head it just don't feel right
I miss your bones buried beneath my sheets
My voice shakes when I try to speak
Your name is stitched into my teeth
And every time I talk I feel you there

Every night the floorboards creak outside my bedroom door
18 months of losing sleep
Because your ghost has been pacing in the halls
I know they say time heals all wounds but when will it heal mine?
'Cause I'm sick of waiting for you to bring me back my peace of mind

I still miss you like the moon misses the warm kiss of the sun
When the earth dances between them and steals away its love
I asked how long you'd be gone
And you said, "As long as it takes."
And I was always so impatient with our love
But I swore I'd wait

I'm tired of living in the fear that one day you'll come back
And after all these years, I won't be able to look you in the face
And say, "I've let you go."

'Cause yours is the only love I've ever known

2. Fade

The emptiness I harboured in the questions that I asked was almost palpable
It tasted like the soft skin on your back
And when I said, "Where did you go?"
What I meant was
"Since you left
I haven't had the chance to hate you
Nearly half as much as I've hated myself."

We were in love
At least that's what I came to call it
I was never really quite sure if it was
Because in growing up
The hardest lesson learned
Is just because you love someone
It doesn't mean they love you in return

I always thought you'd fade when I buried you and me
But on our grave a bed of flowers bloomed
And now each day you grow more beautiful
As I'm left to decay
I guess it's true that some things never change

And it's been quite a long time now
But I'm still so weak
I found a bliss in my ignorance
Until ignorance found hell in me
When I said, "Where did you go?"
What I meant was
"Since you left
I haven't had the chance to hate you
Half as much as I've love you."

It's been a long time now
But I still spend my nights laying away
The kind of tired that sleep wouldn't shake
The kind of empty that fills the entire space in my chest cavity
Where I tried to keep you safe
But you escaped

It's been quite a long time now
But I'm still so weak
I found a bliss in my ignorance
Until ignorance found hell in me
And when I said, "Where did you go?"
What I meant was
"Since you left
I haven't had the chance to hate you
Half as much as I've loved you."

3. Hell

[Bonus Track]

I know I promised not to call
But I left so much unsaid
And you barely said a word at all
But I knew exactly how you felt

How fast did we decay?
'Cause I remember falling into love
But never out again
It felt like one day I woke up
Add we weren’t there
We'd lay our bones in the same bed at night
But our love had disappeared

Lonely is as lonely does
Sink beneath the bed sheets
Drowning in the thought of us
A bloodless vessel, empty
Toothless, I've been thinking of a way to let you know
Hell is loving you in my sleep and waking up alone

I guess I just couldn't bring myself to face the fact that maybe we were never what I wanted us to be
Maybe the love that we had made was not the beautiful home I always imagined that we had built
Because you were the light of my life
But no matter how brightly you shone the shadow you cast was never dark enough to cancel out the glare
Maybe I would have left sooner if I could have seen it then
Maybe you were never there

You never saw it as us
Only ever you and me
You were the blood in my veins
You only came to watch me bleed
Our love set me on fire
And you stood and watched me burn
You told me once you couldn't love me
But I guess I'll never learn

Lonely is as lonely does
Sink beneath the bed sheets
Drowning in the thought of us
A bloodless vessel, empty
Toothless, I've been thinking of a way to let you know
Hell is loving you in my sleep and waking up alone
