Casey's Song

CASEY NEEDS A HOLIDAY TO SAY THE LEAST. FROM HIS BROKEN BONES, A HOLIDAY. WHEN'S HIS TURN TO WALK THIS PLANET SAFE FROM ALL THE DOCTORS AND ALSO FROM HIMSELF? THEY CAN'T BELIEVE HE LIVES AND BREATHES. WE THINK MAYBE HE'S A SAINT. AND HE STEERS HIS SHIP STEADY, SLOWLY. HE JUST WANTS TO GET IT AHEAD REGARDLESS OF NATURE'S OBSTACLES. CATCH YOUR BREATH, KID. GRAB A HOLD. DON'T LET IT CO AGAIN. WE'LL LAUGH ABOUT THIS WHEN WE'RE OLD. THIS PAIN WAS HEAVEN SENT. GOD, I NEED HOLIDAY TO SAY THE LEAST. FROM THIS BASHED IN HEART, A HOLIDAY. WHERE'S MY FRIENDS TO DIG ME THE FUCK UP OUT THIS DEEP RUT AND FOCUS ON THE DREAM WE HAD FIVE YEARS AGO TODAY? I GUESS IT'S TIME TO BELIEVE. AND I STEER MY SHIP STEADY, SLOWLY. I JUST WANT TO FEEL HUMAN, IN TUNE WITH ALL OF NATURE'S OBSTACLES. I SAT IN MY CAR, STARING AT THE COINS LAYING ON THE FLOOR, ASKING AM I CURSED OR JUST SECRETLY IRON MAN? DID IT GET AWAY FROM YOU? HOW DO I GET IT BACK TO ME? I SAT IN MY CAR, WONDERING HOW THINGS GOT THIS FAR. GET HOME ALIVE.
