Tracks



01. Guidance Three

Music & lyrics by Jolly
"Welcome to part two of the Audioguide to Happiness, if you've not yet completed part one, please do so now before continuing."

"Free your mind from personal constrains
Move beyond individualistisch experiences
Only then will you begin to move freely to see with calrity
Open your consciousness to the truths around you
Liberate yourself
Let all your vulnerabilities come to the surface
Libarate yourself from false realities
Libarate yourself... You have to try"

"Phase three: Transcending the subjective

02. Firewell

Music & lyrics by Jolly
Once again, uncomfortable ordinary undertakings
Tension creeps into your eyes, when will you learn
Coming here just leaves me trapped in your waves
Everything goes awry
Leave it to you, to bring it all down

Once again, reckless and insecure
Punt down by the ones you let into your life
Real world disconnect, as you tumble further down
This path, it's time I set you off on your way

See the way that you remind me
Of what it feels like to settle once again
See the way that you remind me of what it was like
Never turning back
You and I can never take it back

See the way, break through tidal waves
And turn to gray, breath in the firewell
It matters, you cannot believe it matters
Savor this last embrace
I'd rather not believe that we've drifted out to sea

03. You Against The World

Music & lyrics by Jolly
Standing over my side, a vision of the coming night
Seems it's all I ever had, no reason to walk into the light

Lose all your troubles and go hide, I know
Forget all emontions running wild, I know
It'll set you free

It's you against the world, you can't fight it
It's you against the world, you can't hide from it
It's you against the world, don't deny it
It's you against the world, or without it

Waiting through it never lasts
Becoming afraid to move along
Seems it's all I ever saw
Each season closer than before

I want to wake up in another world
I want to wake up far beyond the sun
I want to wake up in another world
I want to wake up beneath a silver sky

04. Aqualand And The Seven Suns

Music & lyrics by Jolly
See the light away, and dream into night
When you come alive, see the last momentary
Glimpse of us all, and help us begin again

I traveled past the waves on a train, then I walked for
Many days, I ventured through the flooding valleys
Then I went a thousand ways

I ran past all the frantic faces
Then I strolled along my way
I climbed atop the fallen towers
Then I threw it all away

05. Dust Nation Bleak

Music & lyrics by Jolly
You say you want me, considered time less wasted
Then turned away, who will take me
Indirectly less of me, let them see
Saw you twisting, you think you're never going to die
But you never tempt the borderline
With every step I see it clear

You say that you're not like anything or anyone
And that you don't know what you're doing
And then you come around and you stand your ground
And you say to me: "This will be the last time"

So you want me, untethered, down and wasted
And turned away, you want to think
You're all that's left of me, wait and see

Go on with it, tell me how it's going to be
It turns into another lie, with every single word you say
It's too late for us, like everything you said

06. Golden Divide

Music & lyrics by Jolly
Back to the place where I was a child
When everything began
Walk up the stairs to find that
It hasn't changed at all
Smile at the sight of shapes that I drew on windowsills
To look through the haze of an amber, everlasting view

Staring at the sunrise, golden devide
Waiting for a sign to come my way
Recounting places I have seen
Since the day I left, to escape what could have been
Wondering when this road will lead me to find my place

Running away, you're running away, running away
You run away, but not today, not today

Tell me where you want to go
Take me back to the place we one knew
Tell me why you had to leave, take me and I'll show you

07. Guidance Four

Music & lyrics by Jolly
"Take a moment to reflect as we aproach the and of our journey
Now center yourself as we enter the final phase"

"Phase four: Achieving Happiness"

08. Lucky

Music & lyrics by Jolly
Some day I will be coming down, until you
Understand these things that I believe
And then you'll see, not the same I was before
Awake and something more
I had to find myself, and now you see

Staring at the mirror, watch it disappear
I stare until I know that no one's lucky as I

No longer held down by the past
Stepped from the shadows that you cast
Those feelings left astray
And then you'll see it happened this way

No longer held down by the past, I walked away
From you at last, a vibrate image of myself
That's ready to take a chance
It seems you were right

09. While We Slept In Burning Shades

Music & lyrics by Jolly
Look in the mirror and what do you see
A stranger always looking back at me
It doesn't think to turn away
It doesn't seem to know me anyway

Stay in this place where we never part
See the happiness it brings, you took away
the only thing I had left me lying on my own

You couldn't wait and I understand, those times
Won't come back again, you took away the only thing

I stare until the view comes clear, I remember knowing you
Were everywhere, still clinging to that one last memory
Of a time when I was unaware, of how this would compare

I thought you'd stay to sleep in burning shades
I thought you'd stay, yesterday

10. Despite The Shell

Music & lyrics by Jolly
Standing here, where the waters concede with a bow to
Drying land, setting to a cube that's faded through
But why, despite the rusted outer shell towering
I can't look away

A new day's sun and I'm awake,
I breath in
Calmed by new chances I await, and I breathe it in

Starved and curious I stare in hunger, help me
Turn until you reveal what's kept inside
Show the answers, shame the seven wonders
Help me believe

A new day's sun and I'm awake
I breath in
All that I know changes shape, and I breathe it in

Holding hope, just like a child, alone
Searching, I'm begging, please turn around, I need you
Struggling, take me there, please turn around
I need you, know letting go, do what you will and
You turned around, now I see you

Armed with wings of light
The confort you cast over me
Then silence a beating heart

And eyes that you have opened wide
I climbed down from walls that I embraced, alone now
Tired now, closer, never looking back
Found calm in this saving grace, now hopeful
Listening closely, Never looking back

Standing where misguided reason led me to begin
Ever closer to the answers left at hand
Despite the vague attempt of my illi\usions
I can look ahead

11. As Heard On Tape

Music & lyrics by Jolly
Fly away in a haze, can't stay here this way
Seven years alone, and you can't go home

Fly away, and you hide, still what if you really tried
Can you forget all the ones inside

Fly away to escape, lies heard on tape
Sadder days in bloom, and you can't go back
Inside the womb

12. The Grand Utopia

Music & lyrics by Jolly
Don't be this way, I've tried so hard
Together we stay, for memories' sake
Don't tell me to deny it, like verybody else
Slow down, let's see where we take it from here

Stop, think this through
I'ts not what you want to do
Don't misunderstand, I'm just a lonely man
Don't tell me to ignore it
For all the things I've done
Tell me, Is this the way it's going to end

"Breath"

"Congratulations, you are now happy"
