We've came so far today Just to throw it all away. Your breathing just make Me love the person I hate. Your not helping, Your just welding All the truth in your lies; So stop crying All your empty goodbyes. So now we've, grown apart Just we did from the start/ Your breathing just to make Me love the person I hate. Your not helping, Your just welding All the truth in your lies; So stop crying All your empty goodbyes. Your not helping, Your just welding All the truth in your lies; So stop crying All your empty goodbyes. All your empty goodbyes All your empty goodbyes

All the footprints, that you left behind Tracks of the fallen man who got lost in time. And now it shines, off all the trees Spreading like, some damned decease. It took the bigger man, to hide in their shame And now at last, there's a cry for his name. It took the bigger man, to hide in their shame And now at last, there's a cry for his name. So stick your head, above the truth There will lie, his pain and truth Beware of the clouds, that follow you But there is that light, that will shine on true. It took the bigger man, to hide in their shame And alas, there's a cry for his name. It took the bigger man, to hide in their shame And alas, there's a cry for his name.

The nights are too short, and the days are too long Its where i think, i may just belong. If i stay here too long, i may not speak the truth Left here waiting, waiting on you. But i believe in you Do you believe in me Will you see it through Stay strong, i'll see it through But i believe in you Do you believe in me Will you see it through Stay strong, i'll see it through

As my smile echoes I watch you melting. As we march to Who said that Who said that Who said that. Turkey knots Lucky charms. Breathin slowly Now that we're warm. Crystal amazment Jurrassic park Helicopters Swoosh and swoon Turkey knots Lucky charms. Breathin slowly Now that we're warm. Turkey knots Lucky charms. Breathin slowly Now that we're warm.

Well there's dark horses that keep on galloping, Through the storm that has found you. I'll forget you But is it any wonder You came along and you stole my thunder. You send a flood back into this head, You sit back and you watch me drown. But it's like hot and cold The path of your twisted road But the eyes can not tell What your eyes won't sell. It's the crack lines with the moon with two faces It's the crack lines with the moon with two faces It's the crack lines with the moon with two faces It's the crack lines with the moon with two faces It's the crack lines with the moon with two faces It's the crack lines with the moon with two faces It's the crack lines with the moon with two faces It's the crack lines with the moon with two faces

The colours of your life Are changing. Black and white Remain the same. The life you wil never Never surrender Leaves me waiting in the rain. Friendly stranger Why do you look away over the there. Friendly stranger Why do you look away over the there. Silent language You spoke out loud. One way track Step through the crowd. It's hard to let go To something you already know. Friendly stranger Why do you look away over the there. Friendly stranger Why do you look away over the there.

Catch 22 02:51
Well it's here toaday And it's gone tomorrow It's mighty big shame It'll never be the same. What's the point she said As she looked to the stars In the, universe Jupiter and Mars. They may seem so close But yet there so far She realy didn't know What i was loking her for. It's dead Like the acorns and the leaves. It lingers Like a thought i had to treat. It's gone.

ScagHead 03:55
You scaghead go back to bed You faded flower You look half dead. You scaghead Leave it behind Go back to a time When your Mother was kind. You scaghead you lost the lot Think of what you had And now what you've got. You lost the light In the cold, cold night But your good heart's desire Wil again shine bright. I bet that you Did not think, that you'd get So Out Of your mind. I bet that you Did not think, that you'd get So Out Of your mind. You scaghead You took a chance Now you stroll the streets In a parisite trance. Shedding your crocidile tears to get some gear Your body moans and groans Moans and groans, moans and groans. I bet that you Did not think, that you'd get So Out Of your mind. I bet that you Did not think, that you'd get So Out Of your mind.

It's been so long Since we've last been together. And I know it will be Another while before we do. Things have moved on in my life Since i seen you. But there's still time For me To think of you. So i'l wait For you To sail Apon My shore, Again. Bumped into a friend of yours Just the other day. She said you had me back On your mind again. I wish, that i was standing By your side Just so we could say We proved the test of time. So i'l wait For you To sail Apon My shore, Again. So i'l wait For you To sail Apon My shore, Again.

Empty Vase 04:59
Why did I start this with you How could it have ever have grew. I got distracted by your rain Made me forget again. Empty vase with no flowers Cheap trick with no powers. Always on, the right side of the wrong Always wanting to please So you feel you belong. Why did i think thing would change When you don't even realise how strange You are You Shooting star Please Drop me far. Empty vase with no flowers Cheap trick with no powers. Always on, the right side of the wrong Always wanting to please So you feel you belong. Empty vase with no flowers Cheap trick with no powers. Always on, the right side of the wrong Always wanting to please So you feel you belong.

Bright lights don't let me shine Bright lights dont let me die. Sail through the barron night Bright lights dont let me die. Bright lights you burn a while Bright lights you stole this child Away from a broken time Bright lights let me fly I'm so afarid I'm so alone. I left it all too late I thought that you'd come home. Bright lights you burned a while Bright lights you stole this child. Away from a broken time Bright lights you let me fly. I'm so afarid I'm so alone. I left it all too late I thought that you'd come home.

about

'Whether singing his self-written solo material as a singer/songwriter or playing his self-penned material with his musical collective, The Secret Animals, Chrisy McCullagh is a force to be reckoned with on the contemporary music scene.
His high-register vocals are as unique as his almost dream-like lyrics and sound combinations.
McCullagh's distinctive trance-like vocals, ranging from soulful to hypnotic, determine a degree of moodiness in songs like Empty Vase, while the atmospheric and psychedelic, Bright Lights, is retro with a modern edge; creating an almost dream-like soundscape within an unusual combination of instrumentation.
'Cry For His Name' offers an avant-garde jazz sound, concealing a series of interesting instrumental moments, while the haunting feel of 'Empty Goodbyes' hides an almost classically-tinged backing behind McCullagh's own wall of sound.
If you are looking for something different, musically, Chrisy McCullagh is unique and you will not have heard anything like him before.

about

Chrisy Mc Cullagh New York, New York

For Chrisy Mc Cullagh, music is life. "It's like a drug, I have to get up there and let loose," he says of his creative output: an eclectic mix of folk, rock and soul, threaded with rhythms from world music and brought to life on select combos of bass, percussion, brass, specially tuned guitars and the lyrical vocals that have drawn comparisons with the late Jeff Buckley. ... more
