Tracks



01. Guidance One

Music & lyrics by Jolly
"Welcome to the audio guide to happiness
Dinamic sound treatment
Close your eyes
Breath
And fly..."


"Phase one, acknowledging confinement"

02. Ends Where It Starts

Music & lyrics by Jolly
Come on, don't you wanna try, stop and clear your mind
Step into the light before we begin, no need to hide
Stop don´t run, it gets easier before we get carried away
And I swear you want to leave once it´s done
Now pretend that it´s only a game

Taken away from the life I´ll betray
I am whatever you say, whatever you say

The last sin in the world, much better than the first one
The last sin in the world is mine

Stuck here ´til the morning came, grief is all that remains
Lie down here, be mine
Now you say what it means to be
Alive in a fateful embrace
And I swear you won´t want to leave here once it´s done
Now pretend that it´s only a game

Taken away from the life you´ll betray
You are whatever I say, whatever I say

03. Joy

Music & lyrics by Jolly
The sun that leads day into the night
Uncovers the stars to make it bright
It happened to you when you went away
See what has become of what's left behind

One of these days I'll sail through the ocean
When I return I'll bring it all back and
Tell the whole world, restore things left broken
I'll hold it down so we could start new

Crossing the straits, nearing the light
For all that you say at least it's right
Apart from the world, her voice in the wind
Not knowing the fate you were bound to find

One of these days I'll sail through the ocean
When I return I'll bring it all back and
Tell the whole world, restore things left broken
I'll hold it down so we could start new

Settle down, you know you're gonna cry
And set me free, oh.
And you still hold the only thing left of me,
Dorothy...

Dorothy...
Dorothy...
Dorothy...

One of these days I'll sail through the ocean
When I return I'll bring it all back and
Tell the whole world, restore things left broken
I'll hold it down so we could start new

04. Pretty Darlin'

Music & lyrics by Jolly
Welcome to my world, it's all that you want it to be
Captivated girl, with eyes wide and wanting to see
What you got into
You try and fail to change the things that I do
A resolution to what you wanted to be
You wanted to be

Oh darlin', oh pretty darlin'
Do you still look out on the rain
I said oh darlin', oh pretty darlin'
Do you still think it's all the same

Welcome to my world, it's not like you wanted to be
Disillusioned girl, too blind to notice that it happened to me
Wait to see this through, too late for apologies
Say you're daddy's girl, say you're daddy's baby girl
Like I wanted to be, I wanted to be

Oh darln' you don't know me and what it means
To be free, this didn't happen the way
I planned it, it's not what I wanted to be
Go dance away my darlin'

The way I cope is irrelevant

The way I hang my head makes you realize
But I see the weather change, a new view to arrive
From where I am I could try
To scream but you can't hear

05. The Pattern

Music & lyrics by Jolly
One of these days the choice made
Will take the place of where it all began
Cornered by the mirror, staring back at shame
Soothing the hunger, you won't feel the same

Say: "It is too late"
Prepare to see the other side

How does it breathe, what gives it life
Pulsing with collective fears at hand
Look back at the story, no one else to blame
Turn to the mirror, you won't feel the same

Say: "It is too late"
Prepare to see the way it falls apart
Give up, let it come down
And see the decision we make

We thought we understood everything
We never understood
Only when we carry the weight,
Will we learn to see the pattern to break
Some day soon we'll see the reason why
We need to believe in trying
Some day, some way

06. Storytime

Music & lyrics by Jolly
Here in time you wonder why you're still alive
And where you go from here

Storytime leaves it all behind
It leads to wandering around
Passing by, moves faster as it goes
You can feel the years collide

Here in time you wonder why you're still alive
And where you ought to be, here in time
Remember today, and let it all slow down

Looking back at memories to find
They're fading out into the night
Slipping mind watches the clouds go by
And you can't help but close your eyes

Here in time you wonder why you're still alive
And where you ought to be, here in time, here in time
Where do you go from here

Here in time you wonder why you're still alive
And where you are
Storytime

07. Guidance Two

Music & lyrics by Jolly
"You may experience some discomfort, but only for a moment
By the time I count back from ten, you have already reached the next phase.
10... 9... 8... 7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1..."

"Phase two, defusing coping mechanisms"

08. Still A Dream

Music & lyrics by Jolly
It's ordinary, no need to worry
Inflatuated, just like on TV
Someone tells you, can't find the answers
Imaginary, in times you will see

Carry on without me
I'm still a dream, I'm still a dream to you
Carry on
I'm still a dream to you

Carry on without me
I'm still a dream, I'm still a dream to you
Carry on
I'm still a dream to you, so dream on

It's ordinary but sometimes better
And the distance traveled will come together
Before the wayside will count for much more
It's imaginary, soon you will see

09. Radiae

Music & lyrics by Jolly
Through that endless doubt in my plan sprung
A Holy Wonder
There in lies a sound unlike that of any other

Show me if you can, help me understand
Show me if you can, the meaning of your silence
Help me understand, why we're left to wander

So many day's I've waited for you to come back
Wasting time wandering for miles, and miles

Show me if you can, I'll be here despite you
Show me if you can, I'm waiting for an answer
Help me understand, and guide me into Happiness

Show me if you can, show me if you can
Show me, help me understand

10. Where Everything's Perfect

Music & lyrics by Jolly
Some time ago
There was a place that came to be the one way out
Where everything's perfect and mine
Leave you friends behind only to dream of them still alive
Instead, where nothing is everything inside

Everything's perfect, I'm not where you are
Where everything's perfect, everything is mine

Walking around
Just past the crystal trees reflecting the amber sun
Where everything's perfect and mine
Leave your fears behind, take part in all the things that
You avoid instead, where I control everyting, it's mine

Some time ago
There was a place that came to be the one way out
Where everything's perfect and mine
Standing around inside the world we live where
Everything's alright
Where nothing is perfect or mine

11. Dorothy's Lament

Music & lyrics by Jolly
Hero, here in my arms, heal our hearts
Stand up, still warm here in my arms
Don't take this away so long
Haunting me further and holding closer, I dream on
Time stands still for a moment
Where all memories seem bright

Gone away with tears in our eyes
Hear the earth scream back
Before you awaits the soul that held on
Wasted dreams lie awake here in the fire
Will never come back instead, see stars at midnight
To sail the ocean meanwhile

It has to end with promises you told, you told
It has to end and the reason why
You'll never know

12. Intermission

Music & lyrics by Jolly
"This concludes part one, please insert disk two"
