lyrics

You put on that old, brave face.
The one you made up years ago.
So you could float with grace,
Instead of sinking with this undertow.
While the world lets forth,
And runs to you with bleary eyes.
But will you let slip,
The fragile mind you hide inside.

Cause’ your turn to crumble has arrived.
Who’s looking out for this surprise?
Will you abandon your disguise?
Or will you take a long shower,
So the world can’t hear you cry.

Night in, day out.
Holding hair back, flipping frowns.
That’s who they see,
When you pick another off the ground.
But who lifts you?
Who hears the bell and gets the door?
When it rings at night,
And all we know is known no more.

Cause’ your turn to crumble has arrived.
Who’s looking out for this surprise?
Will you abandon your disguise?
Or will you take a long shower,
So the world can’t hear you cry.

Cause’ your turn to crumble has arrived.
Who’s looking out for this surprise?
Will you abandon your disguise?
Or will you take a long shower,
So the world can’t hear you cry.

Hear you cry.
Hear you cry.

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.
