1.	Neurodivergent 02:28	lyrics	buy track
Neurodivergent And there’s no way around it Everything I say and do Is suspect Neurodivergent Having it better than some But don’t tell anyone how hard I’m working To get around it Some people say things That make you stop and think Some people actually have a difficult time Expressing themselves at all This feeling of being out of control For many people struggling Is not new But perhaps some people’s knowledge of it is BREAK Neurodivergent And there’s no way around it Everything I say and do Is suspect Neurodivergent Having it better than some But don’t tell anyone how hard I’m working To get around it Everyone has issues This is true And there’s scales for understanding people like me and you Not everyone takes stock Of their plusses and minuses Leaving room for the jokes and jerks to hurt those who are sensitive among us Neurodivergent And there’s no way around it Everything I say and do Is suspect Neurodivergent Having it better than some But don’t tell anyone how hard I’m working To get around it
2.	Deep In The Milky Way 01:38	lyrics	buy track
Deep in the Milky Way sky Lies a collage of beautiful stars On a good night I can see some planets On a good night I can see Mars It doesn’t matter what you think about it Life is a gift and that’s pretty much how I see it That’s pretty much the way it is Of course, we do get older We age and sometimes things Are difficult to shoulder But, all in all, I share this poem With the hopes that it will make you strong BREAK I know, for me, I’d just like to have a good day I’m not out for anything substantial Just a pathway to say A pathway for change BREAK Deep in the Milky Way sky Lies a collage of beautiful stars On a good night I can see some planets On a good night I can see Mars
3.	Thoughts 01:55	lyrics	buy track
When I crave stability With thoughts that creep And thoughts that nag My only hope is that I don’t get drowned out By these invasive thoughts When I think about my friends I think about the ones who help me manage my generalizations For it’s these friends that express true friendship It’s not easy being in others’ shoes Life is tough Everyone has struggles Some that are the same Many that are different And all that must be worked on BREAK How will I get through? When all I want to do Is express my thoughts In a song? How will I get through? When all I want to do Is express my thoughts In a song?
4.	Breadcrumbs 03:14	lyrics	buy track
Once upon a time There was a man who was once a child Surprising, huh? Who didn’t have the skillset When he was younger To thwart off his bullies He was an excellent chess player (for all he knew) And he enjoyed playing with computers At a time when personal computers were new This boy grew up with character and class But for much of his childhood, his family was poor He wasn’t often bothered by his classism He was always provided for Fast forward to present day and this boy who became a man Developed chronic health issues In part due to a difficult childhood In part due to genetics These health issues were treatable, but there is and was no cure As he was trying to figure everything out He made himself a promise The man, who, as a child mostly suffered at the hands of kids who were, strangely enough, suffering too Realized that for most of his life He was getting breadcrumbs It only happened from time to time That he got anything but breadcrumbs And everything he wished for Was only within reach When he worked for it This man’s life would not end in vain For his promise To himself was to ease the pain he felt And then do the same for others
5.	It Comes In Line 02:40	lyrics	buy track
I write A little bit each day From the depths of my being It comes in line All the things I have to say Typed onto the computer screen Spoken word recorded To me, it’s just another day Music, madness, backing tracks, and sadness Happiness and all of that Music makes me want to say Music, madness, backing tracks, and sadness And happiness - all of that Music helps me to live another day BREAK There’s just no stopping you Once you’ve started There’s just no giving up on things Just like that You have to be ready, willing and able To work hard on things and be willing to hone your craft For me, I’m not always fashionably stable And I compromise a lot at inopportune times But I’ll go to the depths of heaven and hell Just to make a song that will oftentimes come in line
6.	Beautiful On The Inside 02:06	lyrics	buy track
Staring out the window She wondered about this place It was beautiful on the inside The opposite of the human race We work to make ourselves look good Women do their nails and shave their legs Some wear high heals And some touch up their face We all strive to make life more manageable But, more often it’s just a disgrace Still, the woman whose name is Cynthia Had a chance to break away BREAK Without thoughts that bind her up Without a prim and proper society Where some of us feel rotten to the core For we must look and be at our best Cynthia never got away from such expectations for very long She became acquainted with a man who told her All the things she needed to hear to belong The two later settled down and bought a house The kind that was beautiful on the inside A desire of the human race
7.	Fully Human 01:50	lyrics	buy track
I notice that the more I share The more it gets people to open up I’ve spent a good deal of time developing myself To never want to give up When I discuss ideas and engage in normal discourse I can rest easy knowing that I’ve done my best to participate in the conversation BREAK I don’t have to be front and center in every single debate I don’t need to be going down rabbit holes Just to make them think I have my ears attached I do what I do to be fully human And to make some friends along the way I do what I can to be a friend to myself To be a friend to those in need
8.	In Song 01:33	lyrics	buy track
I may never write a hit song and sell it But, there’s a damn good chance I’ll right a decent song And embellish it And after everything I’ve said in my songs I wouldn’t want to be dead I just want to feel good and not have many problems Of course, that’s probably asking a bit too much For when things look bleak They really are difficult to manage BREAK All in all, I get that everyone suffers I just hope this song finds you well And without many troubles Rock on
