Title:
Immunodeficiency

Description:
My hair was in my eye... but there was nothing I could do until the end. Music and lyrics by Stephan Nance Trouble is, Nowadays, We go walking through the rain Protected by our plastic parasols. From the mists To the waves, We don't think we ever will implode again: The mighty leaden rollers rushing in to kill us all. But the ships are swiftly sinking, And the submarine in which I am Sequestering myself Is failing to produce a proper answer. I'm thinking to myself, I'm telling me that deftly I'll be Giving my advice to all the world. The cells we're in are splitting So it's looking like It's likely that it's cancer. You looked sweet Standing there, Smiling at me sleepily Suspiciously like someone who is dead. Shake the sheets, Let 'em air, We'll go down in history Conspicuously grinning like the cat who's in the story life we've led. And the ships are softly sighing As the sedimental seafloor says A prayer to bring them home And sings a sullen cradle song of death. I'm thinking to myself, I'm telling me that certainly we Haven't got the heart to tell the world: The tumors are malignant So the time is coming When we'll breathe our last breath. From the start, Where was I? I was not the kind of guy To look a fading flower in the eye. Cross your heart, Hope to die, Hope to soon be sailing smoothly heaven-high, Surrounded by the seabirds as they skim the starless sky.

The Penny Song
Music and lyrics by Stephan Nance When we went out to the store, I got mad at you But I'm not mad anymore. If it's meaningful to you, It's important to me too. Don't you know that I love you? Don't you know that I adore you? (chorus) In the dark of the night when I hear you snore I couldn't love you more. If you were a penny glued down to the floor I couldn't want you more. When you went and cut your hair, You looked ridiculous But I tried hard not to stare. If it really pleases you, I guess I can like it too. Don't you know that I love you? Don't you know that I adore you No matter what you do? (chorus) If you were a sweater, I'd wash you by hand, And if you were a beach, I would sink my toes in your sand. If you were a pineapple, I wouldn't care if you were Fresh, or frozen, or canned. Don't you know that I love you? Don't you know that I adore you? (chorus)
Song for Losers
This one goes out to Travis. Music and lyrics by Stephan Nance I'm a pretty good guy I scrub behind my ears each morning And I floss every night I care about the environment Nowadays people seem to admire that And yet It's so hard to find a friend (chorus) If you don't drink If you don't smoke If you don't wanna poke Everything with a pulse You're a loser A disaster They're perpetually telling you to grow up faster If that's what it takes to be cool Someone needs to change the rules I'm impossibly kind I'll never ever forget your birthday And I'll always care what's on your mind I'll go with you to the fair And maybe if we're lucky I can win you a bear So where Is someone when I need someone there? (chorus) I'm a vegetarian And I ride my bicycle whenever I can I've got a feeling I could save the world If I had someone to help me Outside on every street I pass a multitude of people That I'd never wanna meet As they stagger to a place where they'll carouse all night I just wanna cry and yell at them with all my might I just wanna stop and tell them that it's not okay For them to fritter every moment of their lives away like this I wanna say, hey! Why can't you see? You don't know what a party is Till you've hung out with me We can dance through the puddles in the empty streets We can warm up and cuddle in between the sheets We can make popcorn on the stove We can watch X-men Parts one, two, and/or three (chorus) Send me back to elementary school So I can play all day in my kiddy pool Never have to worry about how buff I'm not Never have to worry about how tough I'm not Maybe I won't even notice whether I am loved or not I dunno I dunno I dunno I don't know what to do I'm in a quandary It's clear I need somebody But I cannot seem to find out who And if they're anything like me It's likely that this person would be tricky to see So please If you do, won't you refer them to me? 'Cause I don't drink And I don't smoke But I could brighten up Your day with a joke If you let me Once you've met me Maybe I can make it so you never wanna forget me Maybe we could change the rules.

Atrophy
Music and lyrics by Stephan Nance You drove by me in your warm new car I was walking down the street You looked so comfortable with your backs Against your heat-controlled seats I slipped on some frozen mud And started sliding And the records that the world was spinning Started skipping. (chorus) And it felt like the muscle Had all turned to fat. So we got what we got And we lack what we lack. And the things that we lose We can never get back So hold on to them tight When they're under attack. The world is so cold and frozen. Checking out at the market You came in all cold and soakin' It made me think of all the time gone by Since the two of us had spoken. My heart went dumb, my hands went numb And my grocery bags went falling To see you stalking down the aisles While right beside you he was walking. (chorus) Since you gone I can't seem to manage to lift myself up Or pick myself up. (chorus)

I could be wrong
Agh, ignore the stupid bird noises... Music and lyrics by Stephan Nance Whispering through your window, Whistling through the wind Way back when Tea for two And two for tea Was all we knew, And all we'd ever need. I'll admit That at this time I'm simply not prepared To say I could be wrong. That in the end It may not be you play too much; Perhaps it's that I never play along. Stairs and stairs and stairs— I start to feel surrounded by the stars; But whistling and whispering myself away to you Won't get me very far. Time and time again I tell myself To touch you tentatively. Already I'm awkwardly attached And any day now I might Ask you to go steady with me. I would sell my soul to you For a sand dollar, But it would kill me to cudgel you With caveats and keep you on a leash. I don't know What's wrong with me; It's just so hard for me To see things differently. If there were a surgery To change my mind You know I'd do it happily. As it is, I'll keep trying. I'll just keep trying. I'm a puzzle even to myself; I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Sometimes I have no idea how I'm supposed to act; I'm sorry. I'll admit That at this time I'm simply not prepared To say I could be wrong. That in the end It may not be you play too much Perhaps it's that I never play along. I'll keep trying, But I'll understand if you can't. And if you can't, I'll keep trying.

You Are The Same (Maggie Gyllenhaal cover)
Written by Heidi Shink and Caitlin Stansbury Originally performed by Maggie Gyllenhaal on the soundtrack for the film Happy Endings I didn't wait for you 'Cause you didn't wait for me It seems like we're really through Strange how I don't feel free Sometimes I want you here Sometimes I want you there Maybe I live in fear Maybe I just don't care And my head feels confused and distracted And my heart feels so empty There's no excuse for the way that I've acted You are the one for me. I wait for things to change As they start to slip away I know that I've caused you pain That's why it's hard to stay And my head feels confused and distracted And my heart feels so empty I'm not ashamed of the way that I've acted You are the same as me.
