Outgoing Call 03:28
lyrics

Oh I can't stop seeing you Inside of my mind That's eating itself every time That I want to be with you I never thought that I could blow up such a good thing And I want to silence myself Stopping the pity would certainly help Everything is fine Except for the imaginary line that's dividing you and I I stared into your soul Into your soul I lost the privilege of looking that deep Because of me Me Me Me I'm not asking for anything Cause I don't deserve it No I don't deserve it And I can't make you look at me I wouldn't dare to get angry about how I know nothing has changed Except everything has And continues to evolve I know I've got to see How not everything has something to do with me Or you And this song is not romance It's not a weapon Or a transaction.

Bad Volume 02:16
lyrics

When the ceiling's too much And the walls are hot to the touch Squeezing every last bit out Running around and around Like crazy madness forever You got lanes switched and levers That you can't grab onto (Turn it down turn it up) (Turn it down turn it up) (Giving loudness erupt) (Giving up, turn it down give it up) (Right on) I wrote it all down If you keep stretching your head You might just wind up dead You give and you give and you give Away to God you live You know what, I just (Turn it down turn it up) (Turn it down turn it up) (Giving loudness erupt) (Turn it down turn it up) (Turn it down turn it up) (Giving loudness erupt) With the volume in flux, Things will always suck Around myself

Four In The Morning 05:01
lyrics

Four in the morning when it hurts I am pouring all the spirits In my room Sound it is shaking up my head I am waking from my bed It's a sorrow That is so old Where it is coming from is this Wether sounds I can't resist I am here, contributing Somehow Someway Before it was crumbling I could taste All the underneath of what was possibly wrong So now I am chasing like a cat I'm waking up the house And all I can do is Trust That all things must Become circular And return to dust Someway Somehow Someway Somehow Before it was accident And bound by the captives wall of sound I am dropping to the floor I am dropping to the dead I am watching all I've got I'm not speaking I am stopped By the light of the whole world around And now I am bound To the past And all the wonderful sound In my head I'm hidden I hid

I Love You 05:53
lyrics
buy track
Light through the opening in my room Time keeps composing a song for you No chance for doing what I think is wrong Behold! Its the universe singing your song Light through the opening in my head Time is the proving ground of the dead No more do I scare And no more am I here And No longer am I scared It's just me in the wind Light through the opening in my room Live and wriggling I assume to be living Forever and ever and ever Till its gone Forever and ever and ever and ever and ever But never I Love You ain't that the truth I Love You And the spiders they're gonna get you sometime And the times they're gonna hit you with your time And the spiders will get you someday The spiders gonna see how you pray Light keeps on opening in new rooms I've been just barking this whole time That's all the meaning I've assigned today With that - I'll keep breathing and start to fade The soul is confusing and I am too and why did I write this song for you?

about

4 Songs made at the conclusion to the James World Weekly songwriting experiment.

"Businessland" is a pet name for a sterile office building area past the train tracks near James World headquarters. These songs were written at the height of a strange and magical time, filled with confusion, love, and loss. My visits to businessland ceased for a while after this record was released, primarily because the emotions contained within were too much to bear. After some time passed, I began revisiting the strange park and started filling it with new memories, as my heart began to heal and my head began clarifying experiences that didn't make sense at the time. Listening back to these songs as I upload them, I feel a great deal of gratitude for the lessons I learned during their birth, and the long road of the year following adding up to a whole lot of personal and collective growth among my loved ones.

If your'e going through a rough season, perhaps these songs will connect with you. Maybe you're happy - that's great too! Thanks for listening.

Most of all, thanks for being you. Whoever you are reading this. I love you.

- Michael
