Histheory & Jay El Dee - Neurodivergent Lyrics

I am not what you imagined
Through all of your dreaming
And all of your planning
I'm trying as hard as I can to
Live up to your standards
Trying to sit in a box I can't fit in
Trying to live within your city limits
I'm Neurodivergent
Don't sound like a word
Cause your books are not current
My symptoms emerging
Seems we are different
It's odd but not urgent
I don't need your surgeon
Masking encouraged
Discomfort is certain
Cause behind the curtain
I'm Neuro Neuro Neurodivergent
If you accommodate me
It won't be so hard
To tolerate me
I know that I can be grating but
I won't let you degrade me
If I'm disassociating
It's because I struggle with regulating
My feelings and my attention
I don't need your lessons
Neurodivergent
Don't sound like a word
Cause your books are not current
My symptoms emerging
Seems we are different
It's odd but not urgent
I don't need your surgeon
Masking encouraged
Discomfort is certain
Cause behind the curtain
I'm Neuro Neuro Neurodivergent
If you're boring I might be a burden
Flapping my wings
I can fly like a bird
I'm the pro in procrastination
I'm late but I'm no good at waiting
I'm scared of making decisions so
Most of my projects they remain unfinished
I need time and space but it's okay
Cause Rome wasn't built in a day
Neurodivergent
Don't sound like a word
Cause your books are not current
My symptoms emerging
Seems we are different
It's odd but not urgent
I don't need your surgeon
Masking encouraged
Discomfort is certain
Cause behind the curtain
I'm Neuro Neuro Neurodivergent
You've never met anyone like me
I burn brighter
Than you've ever seen
Without my dose of dopamine
I'll burn out easily
So keep it interesting
Neurodivergent
Don't sound like a word
Cause your books are not current
My symptoms emerging
Seems we are different
It's odd but not urgent
I don't need your surgeon
Masking encouraged
Discomfort is certain
Cause behind the curtain
I'm Neuro Neuro Neurodivergent
