These twisted days of paychecks that prey
On our souls like sharks on blood
Our teachers lie when they say you can get by
On doing what you love
What are we gonna do in California?
What are we gonna do when we get back?
What are we gonna do when life comes true?
What do you say to that?
You are the sun that makes my heart rise
Courted by a star
You are the girl who holds up my world
I’m just a boy with a guitar
I’ve come to your door with a blanket for the floor
And we’ll sleep on what we make
Stay up all night and hide from the light
Of more endless days
But what are we gonna do tomorrow?
What are we gonna do when it gets here?
What are we gonna do when we get through
And look back on all those years?
You are the soles under my feet
A bandage that hides my scar
You are the girl whose eyes they swirl
I’m just a boy with a guitar
You are the breeze that kisses the trees
Everything I am so far
You are the girl on my arm I twirl
I’m just a boy with a guitar

And in this city…the night and the day run together
And in a way…my life is thin like a feather
I…miss you…want to kiss you
And say all the things I didn’t say
Like that’s not me, it couldn’t be
We can turn this thing around
And I’m on my feet…some days I walk some days I run
And in my head…it’s a battle that can’t be won
I…must fight…tonight
Pull myself out of this room
I’ll make it, I can take it
All I need is for you to
Remove these pins from this Rockstar Voodoo Use them to sew me back to whole
Set me free from this Rockstar Voodoo
This doll belongs to another soul
And how to explain…this life versus another
Is it fair? To have no say in our mother
I…can’t place…this face
Thought I knew you sometime before
I’ve got to…push through
Give me a hand with this and…
Remove these pins from this Rockstar Voodoo Use them to sew me back to whole
Set me free from this Rockstar Voodoo
This doll belongs to another soul
And in this city…the night and the day run together…

I do believe there are hundreds of other me’s, walking around in other towns
Another me knows another you, how are you? You look lovely today
I swore I saw me walk by me the other day, we shared eyes all the same
Turned to look but I lost myself among the crowd, another me is gone
Is it you?
Is it me?
Is it you?
Is it me?
Another me never lost another you, you stand there flesh and blood
Make sure you tell me to cherish this time, for it may not last for long
Is it you?
Is it me?
Is it you?
Is it me?
Another me says goodbye to another you, I’ll see ya around
Maybe in this life or another, who knows, but for now I’ll be here
Is it you?
Is it me?
Is it you?
Is it me? |

The reader cuffs his hands around the simple ties that bind
Scratching, clawing, forcing his way trapping words in kind
And in the end he does not know what lies above his head
In the end this book was all he read
A musketeer without his mate travels under toe
Forgetting the life he once knew is now all he knows
But unknowing to him are the plans that he will die alone
Unknowing to him is this darkness all his own
I lift you up and I let you down
Circle around the sun
One million stories to tell
One day you will wake up
With light in your eyes
One day you will wake up from your spell
But forever I’ll be lost
A day too late a mother cries ‘cause she was never there
A boy he leaves his stepping stone beyond a frightened stare
Help my way and don’t look back for life is but a dream
Life is always never what it seems
She leaves this place she’s running from herself she cannot hide
A stagnant life she knows not what should be held by her side
The honest truth she cannot see lies a hand so close its blind
She walks this land keeping all she finds
I lift you up and I let you down
Circle around the sun
One million stories to tell
One day you will wake up
With light in your eyes
One day you will wake up from your spell
But forever I’ll be lost
A self proclaimed hypocrite, I do declare it’s me
With hopes of being all the things wishing lets me be
Looking back into the sky I gave up my forgiving
Looking back I’ve been alive but not living
I lift you up and I let you down
Circle around the sun
One million stories to tell
One day you will wake up
With light in your eyes
One day you will wake up from your spell
But forever I’ll be lost

Casey
Raw and honest. Most of the songs were written in a matter of weeks after leaving the 'real world' to pursue his passion in music. Having previously been involved in music but on an extended hiatus, Casey poured out an album that had been cooped up inside him for years.
Casey's album ranges from introspective literary pieces that read as short stories in Lost (Classic Stories), to a love between a woman and a Boy with Guitar, to a tragic man who never got a chance in Farmer Son, and to a light hearted goodbye to the 'real world' in Can't Fake it No Mo.
Proud of what he has accomplished so quickly, Casey is eager to begin his new life as a singer/songwriter. |
