• Life passing by too fast.
    Wishing you could hear the screams in my head.
    Hoping that you're not gone.
    Leaving everything else behind.
    Music is all that I cared about, and it is everything you ever lived for.
    I wish you were here, to face the crowds, brave the storm.
    One wrong turn, and you hit a wall.
    You lose a family, a band, a hope to live, a will to move on.
    Every time I close my eyes, I see you braving the millions of people who were sucked into the music void of the band.
    The void of Hawthorne Heights.
    Casey, you were amazing, and we miss you. Me and the crowds of people who wait in line for hours to see your shows, or buy the CD. We all miss you.

    ‘I know it seems like we’re never coming back. You tried your best, and you knew it wouldn’t last… Never coming back.’
    ~This Is Who We Are, Hawthorne Heights, If Only You Were Lonely, October 2005



    Casey, are you really not coming back?
