lyrics

Look at my face, here in my eyes.
Do you see a man in comfort where he stands?
Not alone.
But drifting off to sleep another day, away.
This time wide eyes steal another glance.
And see.

A vision of a restless side of life, debris.
No way to navigate this change in point-of-view,
No one else sees.
A mountain with a precipice to stand.
A leap without a plan.
There's no feathers where we land, set me free.

I’m leavin’ my bed behind.
Been making it for years.
Leavin’ my bed behind.
Where comfort hides from fear.
Now it’s here.

Will I float away, or will I swim to sea?
There’s no need for a castle in the stars, for all to see.
But will you see a different man?
Alone without demand.
Is there comfort in the task of being me?

I’m leavin’ my bed behind.
Been making it for years.
Leavin’ my bed behind.
Where comfort hides from fear.
Now it’s here.
Leavin’ my bed behind.
Leavin’ my bed behind.

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.
