lyrics

Tired of running and getting found.
Sent the monkey away but now he’s back in town.
So quick from highs to let-me-downs.
We’re gonna lose what’s not battened down.

Used to see the world through what we had.
But this see-through love never stood a chance.
So we lie, rug-up and pretend.
This final heartbreak was our intent.

Lost, alone and lonesome.
Fallen for the cracks and not the heart.
Lost, alone and lonesome.
When you’re finished, can I keep the broken part?

Is this a typhoon or hurricane?
Stuck here in the middle it feels all the same.
Seen it all before, not shifting blame.
Holding onto nothing’s my claim to fame

Lost, alone and lonesome.
Fallen for the cracks and not the heart.
Lost, alone and lonesome.
When you’re finished, can I keep the broken part?

Weather-beaten whether I’m alone,
Or walking hand-in-hand with the unknown.
So we end, drifting on our own.
Leave another hand to cast the stone.

Lost, alone and lonesome.
Fallen for the cracks and not the heart.
Lost, alone and lonesome.
When you’re finished, can I keep the broken part?

Lost, alone and lonesome.
Lost, alone and lonesome.
Lost, alone and lonesome.
Lost, alone and lonesome.

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.
