BIG WORLD
SMALL ROLE
LINING UP THE LIGHT WITH THE BAR CODE
SIGNING ON THE LINE WHEN THE BAR CLOSE
TRYING NOT TO FEEL ALARMED WHEN THE BILLS FILL UP THE BOX
KEEP MY SICKLES POP
SEE THE REAPER TRYING TO COP
PULL THE REEFER FROM THE SLEEVE
THE VOID AND ME

IN A LITTLE ROOM WITH THE BRIGHT SCREEN
THE VOID AND ME

THE VOID IS ALWAYS THERE AND I CAN SEE
IT'S STARING BACK AT ME
WHY AM I ALWAYS STARING?
I GUESS IT'S JUST THE VOID AND ME

CAN'T SEE
THE WHITE KEYS
THE CHECKS WHERE THEY'RE ETCHED ON THE NIKES
THE STRIPES IN THE NIGHT STANDING IN THREES
THE CLOUDS IN THE AIR, THE WALLS BARE
THEY'RE BARELY EVEN THERE

HELL'S HOT
DOG DAYS
I CAN FEEL THE BITE BEFORE THE BARKING
I KEEP WAKING UP BEFORE THE CLOCK SINGS
TRYING NOT TO FEEL ALARMED AT THE VOICES IN MY HEAD
I SWEAR THEY WANT ME DEAD
DON'T WANT TO CHECK MY MESSAGES
ALL THESE SONGS SEEM INCOMPLETE
THE VOID AND ME

IN A LITTLE ROOM WITH THE BRIGHT SCREEN
THE VOID AND ME

THE VOID IS ALWAYS THERE AND I CAN SEE
IT'S STARING BACK AT ME
WHY AM I ALWAYS STARING?
I GUESS IT'S JUST THE VOID AND ME

The Void and Me

And I was weak as an astronaut
You left a key in the flowerpot
I fell asleep like a tablecloth
Draped over my sculpting block
And you
You pulled me out from under the centerpiece
A narrow notch in the frequency

And you
You were sweet as a jar of juice
When all the bricks came busting through
Kool as Keith on a powder moon
Nobody telling us what to do
And I
I know the love between us will increase
And I could tell you why

Good gracious rings in Vegas
We got our own oasis
No limits outer spaces
We got our own oasis
I'm picking up good vibrations
We got our own oasis
And after all you're my wonderwall

And you

And I
I know the love between us will increase

And I know the love between us will increase
And I know the love between us will increase
And I know the love between us will increase
And I know the love between us will increase
And I know the love between us will increase
And I know the love between us will increase
And I know the love between us will increase
And I know the love between us will increase
And I know the love between us will increase
And I know the love between us will increase
And I know the love between us will increase

Play Wonderwall!

And the days are elastic
We just snap and they're passing
While we're laughing at the magic
Of new chapters and their patterns
And I keep on looking backwards
Expressed in abstraction
Sunglasses refracting
An Aladdin to a Jasmine
And all the people you knew were the actors
And I keep on

Anybody trying to hear a love song
All we got are these summer months
Anybody trying to hear a love song
Nineteen ninety ninety ninety nine
Nineteen ninety ninety ninety nine
Nineteen ninety ninety ninety nine
Nineteen ninety ninety ninety nine

And my thoughts are sporadic
The habits of a savage
While I'm swallowing the tragic
News rapidly happening
And I keep on looking backwards
Like a magnet to my gadget
Back flat on my mattress
See the caption and imagine
That all the people you knew were the actors
And I keep on looking backwards

Anybody trying to hear a love song
All we got are these summer months
Anybody trying to hear a love song
Nineteen ninety ninety ninety nine
Nineteen ninety ninety ninety nine
Nineteen ninety ninety ninety nine
Nineteen ninety ninety ninety nine

Evergreen

When a phone's vibrating on TV
Sounds as real as the one that's sitting by me
Ammo ammo for example when it's rattling on the table
Is it true or is it fable just a scene from basic cable
Ammo ammo I go Rambo on this channel
Got me feeling sentimental lighting candles in our rental
Yeah there's nothing like the real thing

Ammo ammo I go Nukem on this sutra
You can duke or try to juke it but I'm shooting for a future with you
Cause there's nothing like
Yeah there's nothing like the real thing baby

When a phone's vibrating on TV
Sounds as real as the one that's sitting by me
Ammo ammo
Ammo ammo
Ammo ammo
Ammo ammo
Ammo ammo

Ammo ammo my ambition on this composition
Counting my munitions like the darts in Cupid's quiver for you
Cause there's nothing like
Yeah there's nothing like the real thing baby

Ammo

When I was a kid I could float
I'd backstroke through the ropes
To the shores of my daydreams
But the deep blue sea
Started swallowing me
From the chore of my routine
And all the sepia tones
And the long focus throws
That's distorting those memories
Keep on filling my head
With the fog and the web
I forget that I'm caught in
I need to sit a while silently
I need a little more time to think

I used to live on the coast and I'd never see the ocean
Now I don't live on the coast and I don't ever see the ocean
I'm not a new person
Just keep on surfing
Looped a beat like cursive
And named the track short circuit

I used to live on the coast and I'd never see the ocean
Now I don't live on the coast
I'm not a new person
Just keep on surfing
Looped a beat like cursive
And named the track short circuit

Baby don't think that I can't see
That sometimes I'm blinded to what's right in front of me

Baby don't think that I can't see
That sometimes I'm blinded to what's right in front of me

Short Circuit

Wistful nostalgia, of the vein innate to many millennials, is the mood pervading from Detroit’s resident alt-R&B crooner James Linck. The singer's plaintive falsetto has become the subject of conversation in many Detroit music circles.
