’THE SEA & THE MIRROR'

‘Hollow Bones'

Spent the love you sent to me

Tore my heart from my bloodstream

With dust and stone you mend my broken bones

Lord I won’t cry, anymore

Paint your golden song for me

A sunlight coloured rhapsody

Its haunting tones awake my hollow bones

Lord I won’t cry, anymore

‘Michelle (Seashell)'

Well I′ve been living by the sea, been dreaming of the shore

Listening to the shells, I hear you sing your ocean lullaby

Michelle a siren from the tide

The endless water lies reflecting from her eyes

She felt me sink so low

You sail away

Your loves flows but your heart is mine

You sail away

I follow cos your heart is mine

She left the castle where she lay

Her bucket and spade were lying by the gate

I watched them fade beneath the waves

Her name was written in the sand

'Michelle from Coral Bay′

I wish she coulda stayed

I hope she'll turn the tide some day

You sail away

Your loves flows but your heart is mine

You sail away

I follow cos your heart is mine

Michelle from Coral Bay

Michelle

Farewell

‘Fall Apart'

Lonely wind she calls

A plea for love that’s all

She’s walking home, walking home, she’s all alone

She’s coming home, coming home, she’s coming home

Alone a night, she falls apart

Safe out of sight, she falls apart

The fever now it grows

Panic strikes as the cracks begin to show

She’s walking home, walking home, she’s all alone

She’s coming home, coming home, she’s coming home

Alone a night, she falls apart

Safe out of sight, she falls apart

Lonely night, she falls apart

Safe out of sight, she falls apart

’Snowflake'

So long my love, he can′t let go

The cold inside, I couldn't melt the snow

Sorrow tonight, she blew my heart

So far, she left with a lullaby

You say you are right now

For all you are right now

So please stop

Cos it′s dark

If I could divide the pain inside

You hide behind A light beyond the sun

If all I could do is be your friend

Some friend, I wouldn't change anything

You say you are right now

For all you are right now

So please stop

’Stay Home'

Save it for my heart with your belly full of hate

Bring your broken words home

I′ve been lost

My worthy blistered hands bleeding on their own

I drink to you my love, oh I can't cry

Stay home

My head no longer weeps through your aching breast

May all your dreams go crash down

And break your heart

’Fras Mara'

The fisherman stared through the shades of blue

The morning winter haze, he burns right through

Returning home on a silent sea

To the shore and love′s young dream

So, while I'm alive

Stay and I′ll move on to sail alone

The fisherman sailed on a wave so blue

Beyond the shore to the world he knew

So, while I'm alive

Stay and I'll move on to sail alone

’John’s A Ghost'

Snow falls tonight and John′s a ghost

Cast in the glow of the pale moonlight

He runs to the water, he longs for the morning

Stood on the rock John calls out

Darkness is all his words bring back

He runs to the water, he longs for the morning

Hear me, my love

My heart breaks for you

Kiss me, my love

My earth aches for you

Sun rise

Bleed for morning

Tonight

All lyrics written by Richard Macintyre

‘Jenny And The Devil'

Jenny are you satisfied?

Won′t you change your mind and leave it all behind

Sister you were born free

Now you're tied to the street and that′s what's torturing me

There's always, there′s always time

Sonny do you hear the drums?

You lived by the gun now you′re coming undone

Brother get on your knees

With godspeed you'll be coming home to me

Let′s all waste, let's all waste time

But they could not believe

You wore the devil on your sleeve

I′ve got to bleed for your love your love your love

I'm in need of your love your love your love

I′ve got to bleed for your love your love your love

So just save your prayers for someone who cares

’Embers'

Find me outcast on the sea

Horizon guiding me from the flames of youth

Take hope, anchor for a while

Maybe tie your ropes around me

So, why don′t we start?

Grow, light up the dark

Define me by your last memory

Embers light the skies when I'm here

Show me where you long to be

We′ll swing beneath the cherry tree

Then run round my heart

So, why don't we start?

Grow, light up the dark

So, why don't we start?

Fear, won′t light up the dark

So, why don′t we start?

Grow, light up my heart

’Ikuenora'

Ikuenora, Ikuenora

Spread your painted clockwork wings

Ikuenora. Ikuenora

Rusty cogs and feather springs

Fall by the wind

We begin to rise over the sea

Guide your paper boat through storms

You′ll be my queen, so serene

I won't run aground

Ikuenora, Ikuenora

Wind your oil filled tick-tock heart

Ikuenora, Ikuenora

Paint the sky with your coloured sparks

Fall by the wind

We begin to rise over the sea

Guide your paper boat through storms

You′ll be my queen, so serene

I won't run

‘GEMINI RISING'

‘Sleep Fast'

Strange tides peel us apart

Your cast wishes on the flow

As we swim by moonlight

Your body cracked at the seams

Through dark shadows by the firelight

We move on slowly

You hold back my arms but you can′t tame the fire they cast

You lay by my side my wide eyes while you sleep fast

As time stands still

And clear oceans slip away

I'm burnt driftwood on the shore

Just trying to find my way home

You hold back my arms but you can′t tame the fire they cast

You lay by my side my wide eyes while you sleep fast

You hold back my dreams but you can't take the light they cast

Naked by my side my wide eyes while you sleep fast

Your silence leave cold I'll move along

While the tears are raining down but we can′t hold on

‘Gemini Rising'

Time revolved in frozen tidal moons

Stars colliding seconds passing through

As winter wrapped her cold arms around me

Her silent tears fell like snowflakes through the trees

There was nowhere I could run

But these mountains I come from

Silence was the only friend I knew

As shifting darkness orbits out of view

While in this house of walls that shake me down down

My will is strong these bare hands will break me out

There′s nowhere I could run

Until the Gemini Rising Sun

The seasons change but the sea won't die

Her oceans sway in perfect time

You see we change flawed by design

We′re all runaways running out of time

‘Atlantic 252'

I find myself alone with you

Trading scars of all that we′ve been through

Your transmission wires are running bloodlines to my heart

Communication coming down on a longwave through the stars

All my waiting all this time I've thrown

Falling faking lost in your silent song

But I don′t mind trying hard to right my wrongs

If I thought it would change anything

Take my life Atlantic 252

Be the rise and fall of everything I do

You're like a chemical

A straight shot to my heart

Well people come and go

But we're never torn apart

All my waiting all this time I′ve thrown

Falling faking lost in your silent song

But I don′t mind trying hard to right my wrongs

If I thought I could change anything at all

Through the love

Through the violence

You'll find peace

We are the wild

However misguided

You′ll find me

Wrapped in fractured hopes recover

Hear me spinning words through sound and colour

You know I'm just trying hard to make right all my wrongs

And change this restless heart

‘La Luna'

There′s no way out

When she won't let you go

If I could try

I′d learn to let you know

When I'm alone

And I'm all gone

I′m one times one

But I′m not done

Sometimes I feel like a feather on the breeze

Just calling to the rain

Well don't you rinse me out and send me spinning back to earth again

Not this time

As a cold wind blows through this lonely room

I′m a stranger to myself

But like the way the ocean pulls herself back towards the moon

There's a tide in my heart pulling me through

La Luna La Luna

There′s no way out

When she won't let you go

If I could try a little more try

I′d learn to let you know let know

When I'm alone

And I'm all gone

I′m one times one

But I′m not done

La Luna La Luna

‘Breathe'

Walk through the fire and breathe

In burning visions of falling leaves

Strung out we watch the flowers burn

Too wasted to notice what we′ve learned

A moonlight drive for me

To be locked out on my doorstep

Take all I have and call it home

Don't be scared we′re all born to die alone

I'll wave smile and stand my ground

As the bow breaks and all these feelings drown drown

While I'm sinking too

I′ll rebuild my walls

Living with your ghost beside me

Awash in codeine seas

A sudden surface rush and I can breathe again

I can breathe again

Let me breathe again

Let me breathe

‘Infinity'

Sometimes, the world just spins around for a while

You hold tight, she′ll throw you off her back in time

She rolls

She cries over me

Defies her infinity

Old life, where did all my dreams come true?

I'm falling too fast

For these hands to catch a ride with you

Still she rolls

She cries over me

Defies our infinity

She cries over me

Defies her infinity

She cries over me

Defies our infinity

‘Lost In The Flood'

Sirens come take me home

I′m laid out on this road

Only love

Could bring me back

There's one last song to sing

Through a heartful of broken strings

Words crying out in a storm through the summer rain

Go, we sail

On a wave goodbye

Go, I′ll try to rest

This weary mind

In time

I drift out to sea alone

To rise out this heart made of stone

Fading winds bring your birds to guide me back

This life now it keeps me thin

I'm a ghost trying to live with my skin

All lost in the flood shipwrecked on your heart

Go, we sail

On a wave goodbye

Go, I'll try to rest

This weary mind

In time

All lyrics written by Richard Macintyre

’Take It All'

I was a fighter in the ring

Punching all that I could swing

Through the lonely nights I fought for you

Cut my bones made of steel

You′d say I'm hard wired not to feel

While you′re the type who takes some time to work it out

When you've got to be strong

Drunken smoke fills your eyes

Hide the tears the body cries

Wasting life online with your head in the sand

We build this house tear it down

Through the rage we start to drown

I guess a bird in a cage is no life for a tramp like me

Oh my sweet Joseline

Come lay down here with me

We'll break our hearts just one last time

Like capsized boats at sea

Blown apart

And as the last wave falls

You just take it all

Now the drift seems too far

To pick out one last guiding star

In constellations of dust and diamonds in the sky

Well maybe it′s just the way love goes

You never know where the wind blows

You just throw it all to chance and start again

Oh my sweet Joseline

Come lay down here with me

We′ll break these hearts just one last time

I'm a capsized boat at sea

Falling apart

But I′m trying my best to believe what I can't see

So how long′s it gonna be?

Til this avalanche in me comes tearing apart

The days roll on

Just too damned blind to see where I got lost

And when it all falls down

You can take it all from my heart if you want it

‘NOSTALGIA BURNS'

’The LCD'

Desire come comfort me

Come march me to the beat of an algo-rhythm I can′t see

You got me wanting more when less is what I need

This is the LCD you won't feel nothing just plug into your feed

I don′t wanna be alone

You sold me, sold me out

Well I'm trying my best to push on through

But every night I'm on my own doomscrolling baby stuck on you

You never ever give me hope

...lessness is what I feel

This is the LCD hello and welcome to where nothing is real

You won′t even have to try

Destibalize. Dehumanize, Industrialize, Computerize

And now the world′s on fire

The flames rage on

Another viral moment

Oblivion

Have I forgotten how to cry?

Destibalize. Dehumanize, Industrialize, Computerize

Every night I wake up and all I wanna do is be with you

Every night I'm alone and all I wanna do is be with you

Every night I wake up and all I think about is

How I′m gonna be with you

This is the LCD you don't need nothing but original

Digital lies

‘It’s Only Love'

I was shattered stone, broken glass, a million smithereens
Lost within the sounds I hear in the colour of my dreams
In these times in which I wonder if I’m the man who I want to be Can’t find me.

It’s only love, we’ll find a way back and things will get better
Cos only love can make a man cry like he shoulda known better
And I couldn’t see that your lonely heart was broken just like me
Maybe time, time could heal the pain?
And let the tears get washed out lost out in the rain
It’s only love we’ll find a way back
It’s only love gonna find a way back to you.

I was stranded on an ocean, I was stranded on my mind
Spinning wheels no traction on this lonesome life I find
In these fires in which we’re burning there’s still a raging flame you’ll see
If you could just find me

Come find me

It’s only love, we’ll find a way back and things will get better
Cos only love can make a man cry like he shoulda known better
And I couldn’t see that your lonely heart was broken just like me
Maybe time, time could heal the pain?
And let the tears get washed out lost out in the rain

It’s only love we’ll find a way back
It’s only love gonna find a way back
It’s only love gonna find a way back to you
You know it’s only love we’ll find a way back
It’s only love, it's only love, you know it's only love

I don’t wanna let you go

And sail a dark and lonely ocean beyond the sea
How can I let you know?

That you’re the one with whom I always want to be

It’s only love we’ll find a way back
It’s only love gonna find a way back
It’s only love, it's only love, you know it's only love
You know it’s only love we’ll find a way back
It’s only love gonna find a way back to you

’Starlight Lovers'

Through this night I′m running lost

Like a ghost train thumping through the dark

Never tire of thinking bout

How you passed here and then broke my heart

These memories are fading

Far behind me the city lights shine

But I still remember

How you kissed me like you weren't mine

Starlight Lovers

Tell me that you love me again like a lover

Starlight lovers

Starlight lover

Tell me that you love me

This lonely fever

Feels like thunder pumping through my veins

I′m trying to find my sense of direction

But it's a losing game

Outside I see sunlight

Hit the horizon but it's fading fast

Can′t aim for the future

When I′ve got my mind stuck living in the past

Hold the light my love

You're gonna come back to my arms

Whenever all the love shines through

You′re gonna run back to my heart

Starlight Lovers

Tell me that you love me again like a lover

Starlight lovers

Starlight lover

Tell me that you love me

These days I disappear like a stranger in a bar at night

Through the haze I see your face

But then blame it on a trick of the light

It's a trick of the light

Hold the light my love

You′re gonna come back to my arms

Whenever all the love shines through

You're gonna run back to my heart

Hold the light my love

You′re gonna come back to my arms

Whenever all the love shines through

You're gonna run back to my heart

Starlight Lovers

Tell me that you love me again like a lover

Starlight lovers

Starlight lover

Tell me that you love me

‘Losing You'

8’Oclock in the morning, I’m miles away

I’m on a sailor’s warning, cast away

A boat without an ocean, can’t seem to find my way

Like a letter left unopened, I ask myself

Would it matter anyway?

I tried my best to pull this trainwreck through

Slow it down I need a minute can’t admit that I’m losing you

My shadow won’t come near me

The streetlights keep it in line

When faith and love begin to fade

Just stop and give it time

I tried my best to pull this trainwreck through

Slow it down I need a minute can’t admit that I’m losing you

They may say that there’s no more we can do

But I won’t back down I’m fighting with it

Can’t admit that I’m losing you

That I’m losing you

Every time I think I’m healing I’m only running away

Is life without you really living now?

Well it’s too early to say and I’m so lost

I’m so lost, oh I’m so lost

So be on your way now cos I’ll be fine

It’s getting hard to remember

When nothing here feels right

No nothing here feels quite right

Put down your big umbrella

The clouds are passing by

You know maybe just for a moment

We could pull the sadness from the sky

’Human'

While the tides are rolling lost at sea

I′m all cigarettes and pain

Hanging for a lifeline here, my dreams are dancing in the rain

If I died here before I'm old and grey

Could I leave a handsome ghost?

No, these lines are cut too deep my friend

There's only thunder in this host

Life′s so strange

Oh life can be so strange

In maybe time we′ll change

Or maybe I'm the one who′s strange?

These days, life's hard

Frozen in the dark but underneath still human

These days, life′s hard

Standing frozen in the dark

But baby I'm still human

Well the stars are crying gold tonight

All cast in a line

I see you shimmer in the darkness again

But like a flame you vanish in time

There′s a silhouette that lives once where you did

And it′s breaking my heart

That we can't escape the sadness here

And send the clocks back where we start

These days, life′s hard

Frozen in the dark but underneath still human

These days, life's hard

Standing frozen in the darkness

But baby I′m still human

You can tell me anything you want to say

Baby I′m still human

Say you know it′s never too late to remake broke mistakes

And put the past away

Baby I′m still human

We could take another shot in the dark

And restart broken hearts

If you could hear me say

Baby I'm still human

Say you know it′s never too late to remake broke mistakes

And put the past away

Baby I'm still human

Take another shot in the dark and restart broken hearts

Try to hear me say

Baby I′m still human

‘Recovery'

I see Virginia in the sky I′m thinking of you

Pulling questions of the lies or maybe they're truth?

A pink harvest moon she′s hanging low

I hear an echo through the trees I'm finding my flow

She's on fire for you

Your heartbeat splits in two

Fireflies like shooting stars landing on my back

Like the sun I′m burning inside out

If this is love I think my heart′s just about to crack

Recovery

Through the slipstream up ahead

Blue mountains of gold

I take a moment to believe we don't grow old

But time′s like a river that falls between my eyes

Sailing on a random twist of fate we crystallize

She's on fire for you

Your heartbeat splits in two

Fireflies like shooting stars landing on my back

Like the sun I′m burning inside out

If this is love I think my heart's just about to crack

Recovery

For every life

For every faith

For every child

For every race

Find the love in every face

And come together as one

Recovery

‘Hourglass'

I was running around my head one night

Trying to find the sense in how we live and die

It wouldn′t matter if I prayed every single day

You were caught in my headspin landslide

I'm just sorry that I couldn′t be more simplified

I'm so damned tired I'm losing my mind

It′s just a matter of time

It′s just a matter of

Turn round baby

You know I'm bad for you

Take your heart and try to hide it

I′m too high to find solid ground

Just an hourglass spinning around and round yea

There was a time when all we had was this bright future

Now we're spinning in between the walls like a wrecking ball

We were firing angry words all night

Like cannonballs ringing through a thunderstorm

I′m so damned tired I'm losing my mind

It′s just a matter of time

Or does it matter at all?

Turn round baby

You know I'm bad for you

Take your heart and try to hide it

I'm too high to find solid ground

Just an hourglass spinning around and round yea

Take your time girl

Don′t try to fight it

Love is blind when you′ve lost your mind

I'm too high never coming down

Just an hourglass spinning upside down yea

Upside down yea

Around and round yea

Got my whole world spinning upside down

Got my mind lost spinning round and round

Got my whole world spinning upside down

Like an hourglass spinning round and round

’Nostalgia Burns'

Mary says that she′s doing fine

But I know bullshit, I'm a man

She′s faking happy as best she can

All day in bed, she's fighting all resistance

Feelings twist and burn

Some lessons we don't wanna learn

Try to hear me say

Joseph shares every single day

His life is a profile, avatar

Hey don′t be a picture of who you are!

Too afraid to say his life is missing some conviction

Something real

Some realisations we don′t wanna feel

Try to hear me say

When you're falling down you can call on me

Might take some time but I′ll come to the rescue

With a push out the door, a little fantasy

When you feel like you’re A.L.L.A.L.O.N.E

When you′re falling down you can call on me

Life is hard sometimes

We all need a rescue

A little push out the door, a little fantasy

When you feel like you’re A.L.L.A.L.O.N.E

It's not too late to try and wake up

From this fake world we′re living in

A nostalgia burns for times of love

We've gotta keep holding on

‘Destroyer'

Every night I’ve been staring at the ceiling

Spinning out of luck, spinning out of time

Could cut my skin just to try to find a feeling

So hide the knives, there’s trouble living on my mind

Control, let it go

Control, let me go

Pick a faith you could fake that you believed in

To tell you life’s not as simple as quite what it seems

Find a house buy a car more things to be seen in

A steady job, forget you ever had any dreams

Destroyer, I look for her

When I stumble, I just crash and burn

My destroyer, I’m looking for her

She brings fire

I guess I’ve got a lot to learn

Control, let it go

Control, let me go

Between the waves there’s a flatline now we’re breathing

Letting go of the old, holding out for the new

It’s bittersweet that the dreams you had don’t mean so much now

So bittersweet to leave behind a version of you

Destroyer, I look for her

When I stumble, I just crash and burn

My destroyer, I’m looking for her

She brings fire

I guess I’ve got a lot to learn

You can’t kill me where I stand

Destroyer

You’ll never kill me where I stand

Destroyer

‘Amélie'

I was busking on the street that day in Notre Dam

When I saw you crack a smile at the rambling fool I am

Some say that love is just coincidence

We could call it fate but what’s the difference?

All I know is

Amélie, girl you’re killing me

When I know underneath you still love me

Amélie, why you killing me?

You know I try so hard but I just can’t let you go

These days I’m fighting sleep just to keep my dreams awake

Got me crawling on my knees dragging every step I try to take

They tried to tell me that you gave your love to someone else

When I know damned fine I’m still on your mind

And it hurts so bad you’re better off without me

Some say that love is just coincidence

We could call it fate but what’s the difference?

All I know is

Amélie, girl you’re killing me

When I know underneath you still love me

Amélie, why you killing me?

You know I try so hard but I just can’t let you go

’Stormy Hill'

Define lonely

Is it just a state of mind?

Or am I bound to search the earth

For a place I’ll never find

I could die here and let it go

Leave a ghost nobody knew

Would I haunt these fields alone?

Or would my ghost come back to you?

Home, desire aches when I’m alone

Home, the morning bell I hear her tones

Home, I need a place to call my own

Oh how I miss you

In these storms I’m laying low

I hear you whisper out of sight

Heat lightening on the wire

I feel electrical tonight

That November morning chill

That made us dance down Stormy Hill

These memories burn and fade

But in my heart they’re living still

Home, desire aches when I’m alone

Home, the morning bell I hear her tones

Home, my sea saly hair, my island bones

Oh how I miss you

I miss you
