A Portrait Of The Autist Lyrics - Singles - Dan Bull

I'm awkward, can't talk to anyone 

I fall at the first hurdle, it hurts to get it wrong 

My mind's 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 I'm desperate now 

Ashamed of my condition when I'm meant be be proud 

It'd be great to fit in and blend with the crowd 

without a red face, a sense of dread; I'm trembling now 

I like things a certain way, a pre-determined order 

and it disturbs my thoughts if the certain order's changed 

Uncertainty unnerves me, close the curtains over the windows 

It's a curse, Asperger Syndrome 

We ought to stick around 

Be autistic and proud 

We ought to stick around 

We ought to stick

I don't 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? 

It's made me feel alone for ages 

because I know there's no hope to change it 

to most a face is an open page -to me it's closed, the prose erased 

and how am I supposed to behave 

when nobody's taken a moment to show me the way? But it's OK 

I still hope and pray the status quo can change 

and I still scope the skies waiting for blokes in capes 

and I'll fly when I know how I'm supposed to behave 

so won't you take a moment to show me the way 

We ought to stick around 

Be autistic and proud 

We ought to stick around 

We ought to stick

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 don't know how I'm 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 non-Asperger brain often fails to achieve 

and yet we go off the rails easily, but believe me 

I've seen what we can be when we've got dreams to reach that no-one else can 

and piece by piece the diagnosed'll find the folks to help them 

to aspire to the heights their sights are focused on 

I know it's a long fight but we're the type to go the whole hog 

We ought to stick around 

Be autistic and proud 

We ought to stick around 

We ought to stick
