As many of you may already know Casey Calvert, the lead singer of Hawthorne Heights, is no longer with us. He passed on the 24th of November 2007 in his sleep. The news has released only that he dies of an asthma attack. To many this is a tragedy and if you don't think it is, don't comment. I cried when I heard, but even though Casey is no longer with us, he will always hold a special place in our hearts. As my own little tribute here are the lyrics to one of their most beautiful songs.
Light Sleeper
Sleep, sleep little darling
I swear, I'm not trying to wear you out
I'm not trying to drag you down
When you fall asleep tonight
They'll be waiting for you
When you try to close your eyes
They'll try not to hate you
Sleep, sleep the night away
Act like nothings wrong
You know we're going down
[Chorus]
You are such a light sleeper
Count to ten and you're already out
We fall, we're in deeper
The nights gone as we open up our eyes
Nine, Ten, (Nine, ten)
We'll never sleep again
We try (We try)
We know we'll never win
At least (At least)
We know we'll make it out alive
At least
we know we'll make it out this time
[Chorus]
You are such a light sleeper
Count to ten and you're already out
We fall, we're in deeper
The nights gone as we open up our eyes
We fall (WE FALL)
We know that we can make it now
We fall (WE FALL)
We know that we can break this down
(we can break this down)
We hear what you're saying (saying)
Not enough so we keep playing
This game is what you make it (you make it)
One chance so why not take it
[Chorus]
You are such a light sleeper
Count to ten and you're already out
We fall, we're in deeper
The nights gone as we open up our eyes
Such a light sleeper
Light sleeper
Such a light sleeper
Sleep, sleep little darling
I swear I'm not trying to wear you out
I'm not trying to drag you down
