BEHIND THE CHRYSALIS

The music on Celestial Chrysalis is the result of a deeply collaborative and almost mystical creative process—one that began as something intangible: a feeling, a breath, a moment of awareness. What started as a spark within Jill’s inner world evolved into fully realized songs through the contributions of an extraordinary group of musicians, each bringing their own voice, sensitivity, and artistry to the work. Jill approached these recordings with a clear emotional vision, bu

Song Lyrics from the album Celestial Chrysalis Revolving doors Spin around me now All around me As you come and go Revolving doors Whirl in front of me You turn back to see Me on the floor All my dreams You took them with you Tucked in your pocket Next to your keys All my hopes Dissolved behind you In a dust trail As I watched you leave Revolving doors Spin around me now All around me As you come and go Revolving doors Stopped in front of me Then you try the key I've locked

Song Lyrics from the album Celestial Chrysalis Today I let go and laid the flower down Familial ghosts floating all around This rose is wilted and dead My fingers gripped it with dread Its' thorns pierced my blood red And fed the beast in my head… my head Today I let go and laid the flower down Closet doors unlatch voicing dormant sounds This rose I've held on so tight And let its weight rule my life Unclenching fists open wide Spill out the secret it hides… it hides How ma

Song Lyrics from the album Celestial Chrysalis I wanted to be your Dark Goddess Squeeze my sin into this red bodice Hide my flaws behind a gold-beaded mask But Mardi Gras is no place for romance I'll keep my promise, I won't cry or complain You'll use my body to mop up your pain Sadistic tendencies live under my skin Careful with my mouth, you know where it's been Please take me down from this pedestal You've kicked the leg out and it's tilting to fall I don't belong on a p

Song Lyrics from the album Celestial Chrysalis There's no sound down the hall No giggles, no laughter or teenage phone calls Who will be there to help me through it all? When there's no sound down the hall There's no music in her room No singing along to Dark Side of the Moon Where do I turn now to counteract this gloom? When there's no music in her room And though I knew this day would come I've tried to stop the setting sun And hold on to the way she needs me But her fate

Song Lyrics from the album Celestial Chrysalis Patience while I reminisce My years of pain mixed with bliss Your compass guides you north But sometimes the road will fork Embrace the detours ahead Potholes need not cause you dread Chutes and ladders slide you off your path Roll the dice, move your piece, and advance Take my hand Life is bittersweet Peaks and valleys Await your feet Tether me If you bleed, I bleed Anchor to me You see I've held you for eternity Traveling eas

Song Lyrics from the album Celestial Chrysalis My birth came with a checklist How to be a Good Little Girl Get pen and paper ready Soft golden curls frame my face Fixed smile always in place I'm here to make you feel special Don't do this/ Don't say that Don't touch or stares you'll attract Eyes down and try to look perfect Embrace the beauty queen A mini you I'll be A stepford child you're creating You hide behind my reflection All that I am, an extension of you The real m

Song Lyrics from the album Celestial Chrysalis Oh, sweet fragile girl Hide away from the world King-size bedsheets have become your prison Ceiling fan shuffles air Inhaling dust without care A cobweb so thick blades cut like a machete Clock reads 2 am A cobweb is your only friend Keeps your secrets tangled from escaping But the morning still comes The white doves sing their song Sunlight peeks its way through the broken blinds drawn tight Only inches away but you can't see

Song Lyrics from the album Celestial Chrysalis Gone Gone is the one who made me whole Gone is the touch that healed my soul Gone is your laughter from my home Gone is the hope I used to own Gone is my world, I am alone Gone Gone are the days when love was new Gone is the man I thought I knew Gone are the times we spent, too few Gone is the life I shared with you Gone is the girl who first loved you Your words were full of lies That spark was missing from your eyes Your word

Song Lyrics From the album Celestial Chrysalis I feel your moonbeams working on me I feel your rays, they change me I feel your moonbeams smiling at me I feel your waves, they save me I'm like a diamond buried underground Waiting for grace, someday I'll be found Shy pearl hiding in the deep blue sea When my shell opens, I shall be free Can't stop the earth from spinning Can't stop the moon from rising I can't stop time Who will I become? I feel your moonbeams working on me
