lyrics

Why are your eyes so blind?
How do you feel inside?
How do you face yourself in the mirror every day?
With your eyes so blind.

Why don’t you stand so tall?
Why don’t you stand at all?
How do you wipe the tears of the broken ones?
When you don’t stand so tall?

You can’t open up your eyes too wide,
Or stand too high before you fall.
I’m hoping for a little less, of nothing at all.

Why don’t you scream and shout?
Why are you holding out?
Why don’t you amplify the cries of the silent ones?
When you can scream and shout?

You can’t open up your eyes too wide,
Or stand too high before you fall.
I’m hoping for a little less, of nothing at all.

You can’t use your voice to speak too loud.
Or overflow the waterfall.
Here’s hoping for a little less, of nothing at all.

You can’t open up your eyes too wide,
Or stand too high before you fall.
I’m hoping for a little less, of nothing at all.

I’m hoping for a little less.
I’m hoping for a little less.
I’m hoping for a little less, of nothing at all.

about

David Schaak Brisbane, Australia

“I love it when music can boil down to the basics. Raw, gritty and full of heart this song comes from the darker reaches of the heart.”
- Nkechi Anele, Triple J

David Schaak loves nothing more than great lyrics, loud guitars and old technology. His music captures the Southern Rock spirit; simple songs about the human condition, played by a good old rock and roll band.
