Casey - Phosphenes Lyrics






I feel the veins that sit behind my eyes grow varicose as gentle light starts filtering through fractured blinds that shade the world from me.

You'd always watch me as I'd wax and wane, Fluoxetine and slow decay, dependence on a medicine is Hell without reprieve.

I am bereft of the ineffable affections I feel I am owed, my vacancy and apathy are all that I have left to show for years I spent in isolation, for chemicals that took the place of fleeting moments in which I found reprieve from misery.

And it seems the only solace I'm afforded is now instead of wanting to kill myself I just sleep; I guess progress really isn't what I thought it would be. And as I lay supine and let the phosphenes fade after another collapse, I'm left to contemplate if I'm really getting better, or if I'm just numb to the feeling of falling apart.

My dichotomy has always been that I'm scared of burdening those who love me, but knowing I need help before I die afraid and lonely. But maybe it's all in my head.

The irony I face is that whenever I try to medicate my aches, it kills the only part of me that makes me want to stay.

And as I lay supine and let the phosphenes fade after another collapse, I'm left to contemplate if I'm really getting better, or if I'm just numb to the feeling of falling apart.

  5. J.... F....

    Casey might've moved on. But I haven't.

  6. S.... B....

    His screams remind me so much of old Oceana. I was a big fan of The Tide when it came out. Never heard these dudes before, but I’m digging it.

  7. w.... b....

    I love this band cant believe they have finished

  8. M.... ....

    Probably my favourite song of all time

  9. j.... C....

    Absolutely underrated band. I can’t find a band that I relate to the lyrics more than.

  10. K.... P....

    “The irony I face is that whenever I try to medicate my aches, it kills the only part of me that makes me want to stay....”

  11. T.... M....

    The fact that these dudes are splitting fucking drives a stake though my heart. Please, just don't. :(

  12. P.... M....

    It’s so fucked they are splitting up I wish they’d make happy music

  13. G.... V....

  14. E.... M....

    This is so sad. You guys rock, thank you for all the wonderful music you gave us.

  15. c.... ....

    I can’t believe Casey is over 😭 they’ll forever hold such a special place in my heart

    c.... ....

    cogsandcrowns what do you mean?

    c.... ....

    led nip they split

    c.... ....

    Their music was a medicine for my soul when I was at my lowest. Never thought I'd be in a position where I identified with their lyrics so much.

  16. V.... ....

    Vocalist reminds me of Emmit Fenn

  17. G.... S....

    Still my favorite band after well over 2 years got 2 tattoos dedicated to them and already planning a new one glad northlane didn't pick him

  18. �.... D....

    Sick af in my bed with a stomach bug after spending 4 hours in the ER with an IV in my vein last night, relatable album lol

  19. T.... P....

    The singer in this video was raped by his father.

  20. T.... P....

    EVERYONE IN THE VIDEO FUCKS THEIR WHORE MOTHER IN THE ASS..

  21. R.... A....

    Damn dudes, please come to the states.

  22. V.... L....

  26. I.... V....

  31. m.... ....

    12.4 Köln 🤗😍

  32. t.... ....

    Is this...emocore? This is amazing. No, I am not being sarcastic, this is actually amazing.

    t.... ....

    trandicosta92 nope it’s melodic hardcore

  33. N.... ....

    Anyone feel a pop punk accent in this song? This song is great, and this band is so underrated.

  34. A.... L....

    It's like when they argue about how bands should evolve within their sound, Well Casey has done that but there's no question this evolution makes us all happy haha.

  35. J.... K....

    A bad Casey song doesn't exist

  36. S.... S....

    I'm really stoked to hear a new album of Casey. I decided to make a cover of the new single called Phosphenes. Really emotional stuff. Hope you'd like it.

  37. C.... A....

    Wow.. best miss-click of my life. New fan.

  38. b.... c....

    Hi. Why the official video of "Little Bird" isn't available in my country ? It used to be, I even give it a like. It is my favorite song and I like the video very much but now I can't see it and that's making me sad..

  39. Q.... D....

    Feeling those lyrics. From one fluoxetine guy to another, hang in there. Excellent music. Loved it.

  40. C.... G....

    The last time I listened to a song so many times back to back was the first time I heard "Dream Awake" by Northlane. The lyrics to this song resonate in a way that is so palpable i'm having a hard time holding my shit together. This is a really beautiful first experience with the band as I haven't heard anything prior. Absolutely great work on this i'm looking forward to listening to more.

  41. B.... B....

    Rise is promoting there music!? Which means welcome to rise records

    YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING 🖤🤘🏽

  83. J.... E....

    Most underrated band in the scene... You guys fucking rule.

  84. T.... Z....

    album of the year no doubt

  85. A.... S....

    Following an album like Love is Not Enough was always going to be a tough task, but I can honestly say I am blown away with the release of Fluorescents and now Phosphenes. Both are absolutely incredible in their own right and I am so excited to hear the new album. Sick job, thanks, Casey.

  86. R.... ....

    This is SO good, amazing lyrics. So glad you guys are doing a headline tour!

  87. T.... A....

    You dudes are lords

  88. S.... ....

    song of the year! love this

  89. C.... T....

    Well hot fuckin damn, love Casey!

  90. r.... ....

    Pretty good, actually like it. Good work on the team up with rise records. Just don't change the sound and get all fucky like a lot of other bands on their label. Looking forward to more

  91. E.... S....

    See you guys in Budapest <3 Hope this time everything will be fine not like last year :(

    E.... S....

    A wise decision

    E.... S....

    Going there from Poland also :D

  92. R.... S....

    Tom, your clean vocals are amazing!!! Want to hear more of it:)))

    R.... S....

    That Guy while they are great, a 50/50 mix of unclean and clean are perfect. Would kinda suck if it was all cleans imo

    R.... S....

    DON'T SAY THAT! Then they will just be like any other band!

  93. m.... ....

    best song you've ever wrote
