A Portrait Of The Autist – Dan Bull – letras

I’m awkward, can’t talk to anyoneI fall at the first hurdle, it hurts to get it wrongMy mind’s wired a different way to everyone elseSo I might seem strange, and be left on the shelf begging for helpPlaced in a position in which I’m desperate nowAshamed of my condition when I’m meant be be proudIt’d be great to fit in and blend with the crowdWithout a red face, a sense of dread; I’m trembling nowI like things a certain way, a pre-determined orderAnd it disturbs my thoughts if the certain order’s changedUncertainty unnerves me, close the curtains over the windowsIt’s a curse, asperger syndromeWe ought to stick aroundBe autistic and proudWe ought to stick aroundWe ought to stickI don’t notice faces in open placesMy focus phases out and goes to blazes.And an overloaded brain is no wayto be social and say hello to mates, is it?It’s made me feel alone for agesBecause I know there’s no hope to change itTo most a face is an open page -to me it’s closed, the prose erasedAnd how am I supposed to behaveWhen nobody’s taken a moment to show me the way?but it’s okI still hope and pray the status quo can changeAnd I still scope the skies waiting for blokes in capesAnd I’ll fly when I know how I’m supposed to behaveSo won’t you take a moment to show me the wayWe ought to stick aroundBe autistic and proudWe ought to stick aroundWe ought to stickAutism assisted me in becoming a poetBecause I feel deeply but I just struggle to show itI care for those around me though I don’t know howI’m supposed to tell peopleSo I wrote it down, prepared my vocal soundThen shared my opus on open groundThose with this syndrome are endowedwith a determination to succeedThat the non-asperger brain often fails to achieveAnd yet we go off the rails easily, but believe meI’ve seen what we can be whenwe’ve got dreams to reach that no-one else canAnd piece by piece the diagnosed’ll find the folks to help themTo aspire to the heights their sights are focused onI know it’s a long fight but we’re the type to go the whole hogWe ought to stick aroundBe autistic and proudWe ought to stick aroundWe ought to stick
