[Verse 1] Im awkward, cant talk to anyone I fall at the first hurdle, it hurts to get it wrong My minds wired a different way to everyone else So I might seem strange, and be left on the shelf begging for help Placed in a position in which Im desperate now Ashamed of my condition when Im meant be be proud Itd be great to fit in and blend with the crowd Without a red face, a sense of dread Im trembling now I like things a certain way, a predetermined order And it disturbs my thoughts if the certain orders changed Uncertainty unnerves me, close the curtains over the windows Its a curse, Asperger Syndrome [Hook] We ought to stick around Be autistic and proud We ought to stick around We ought to stick [Verse 2] I dont notice faces in open places My focus phases out and goes to blazes And an overloaded brain is no way to be social and say hello to mates, is it? Its made me feel alone for ages Because I know theres no hope to change it To most a face is an open page to me its closed, the prose erased And how am I supposed to behave When nobodys taken a moment to show me the way? But its OK I still hope and pray the status quo can change And I still scope the skies waiting for blokes in capes And Ill fly when I know how Im supposed to behave So wont you take a moment to show me the way [Hook] [Verse 3] Autism assisted me in becoming a poet Because I feel deeply but I just struggle to show it I care for those around me though I dont know how Im supposed to tell people So I wrote it down, prepared my vocal sound Then shared my opus on open ground Those with this syndrome are endowed with a determination to succeed That the nonAsperger brain often fails to achieve And yet we go off the rails easily, but believe me Ive seen what we can be when weve got dreams to reach that noone else can And piece by piece the diagnosedll find the folks to help them To aspire to the heights their sights are focused on I know its a long fight but were the type to go the whole hog [Hook]
