about

It would be awkward if you actually lost your spine when certain people were around you. Potentially painful, if not fatal.

lyrics

I can’t stand up straight, but I’m no slouch.
I just can’t get off of this couch to start a conversation with you.
In my imagination we’re through way before we start.
I’m made of tin and I don’t have the spine or heart
to bravely go where this man can’t go.
I heat up like a burning candle.

All my friends just laugh. They don’t understand,
they think that it’s an act. It happens all the time.
Ask me what it’s like to live without a spine.
It’s paralyzing fear that isn’t in my mind! Really!

What you think is a lack of confidence
is nothing like that. I’m being honest!
It’s the bones in my back. They disappear,
but only when you’re in the room
or at least that’s what I’ve come to assume.

Time goes by, I’d say about a week
and I’ve been fine to think and speak,
but then I see you at the door.
I feel my body hit the floor.
Stuck here once again with no support.
I try to move, but I fall short.
I’m lucky that this sofa held me,
‘cause all my limbs have turned to jelly.

All my friends just laugh. They don’t understand,
they think that it’s an act. It happens all the time.
Ask me what it’s like to live without a spine.
It’s paralyzing fear that isn’t in my mind! Really!

What you think is a lack of confidence
is nothing like that. I’m being honest!
It’s the bones in my back. They disappear,
but only when you’re in the room
or at least that’s what I’ve come to assume.

What you think is a lack of confidence
is nothing like that. I’m being honest!
It’s the bones in my back. They disappear,
but only when you’re in the room
or at least that’s what I’ve come to assume,
and the smell of your perfume.
It happens when you’re in the room.

Glenn Case Spokane, Washington

I write music.

I listen to music.

I genuinely just love music.

I have a song available in "Rock Band" and that makes me smile.

Yeah, I'm the guy who did the soundtrack for "The New Adventures of Captain S".

I probably release too many albums, but I do attempt to find a good balance between quality and quantity.

Thank you. ... more
