Lyrics

hey man what about the gifted girl in your class are you taking care of her ?

she waits in the hallways always early always late she is a laughing stock all the kids at school are crocodiles

she reads a book a day she knows exactly what to say to all the grown ups who keep on praising her

she is lone wolf she feels so much she's never ever ever cool enough she wants to play with dogs all day but no one has the space

and she demands it the thought inside her head so fucking loud and she's alone she is alone she wants to scream and scream and shout

she writes before she goes to sleep she memorised the abc before the other kids could even really truly speak

and then she thinks about her body how she feels and how she's right she knows what people think by only looking in their eyes

she wants to go outside and hug a tree and play with all the things she sees the others they dont really care her world and everybody there

so misunderstood its dark and she's on foot she loves to feel the rain she hasn't really had a word for pain yet

she doesn't understand and where are all her friends? im stupid is it me im stupid am i

what about me?

Damnnn that last part hits hard. You captured so many aspects of the experience in such a relatable way.

Beautifully written, and such a gentle but powerful performance. I admire the brutal honesty and heartfelt lyrics. I get a sense of a young Sinead O'Conner vibe. Very nicely done.

definitely relatable as a former gifted child™️. i enjoyed listening, thanks for sharing (:

I recognise so much in this. Lots to relate to. This could—should—be a theme song for autistic kids of all ages.
