WesydeUnderground - Puzzle Piece Lyrics

It's been four years or so that I've been watchin' you grow
But now we've got this diagnosis that I've already known
Another piece of the puzzle with no answer to why
And I'd be lyin' if I said sometimes that I never cry
The most beautiful spirit that I've ever seen
Seems like you're trapped in your head, I wanna set your mind free
And watchin' you struggle is like watchin' you fight
With a shadow in the light and the darkness at night
Sometimes it feels like a battle that we'll just never win
Like you take a step forward just to fall back again
But when I look in your eyes I see my son and the truth
And at times I'm too blind to know exactly what to do
Your mother and I, you know we try very hard
To try to get you to talk with all those pictures and cards
And all those therapists that keep on comin' to the house
We just wanna help you get out

The light in the sky is a beautiful prism
And my beautiful son's beautiful mind is his prison
Stuck in the middle of this everlasting schism
Welcome to life with autism
The light in the sky is a beautiful prism
And my beautiful son's beautiful mind is his prison
Stuck in the middle of this everlasting schism
Welcome to life with autism

Your dad has never really believed in superstition
Butwhen you hear me talkin', I know that you're listenin'
I can't wait for the day that you can join the conversation
And takin' care of you is now your mommy's occupation
I don't want you to change, I love who you are
And I want you to know that I think you're a star
And maybe someday soon we'll get the lid off this jar
And make sense of what the rest of them think is bizarre
But I want you to know, when I'm watchin' you fight
With yourself, I try to grab you and hold you up tight
And take the time and tell you everything is alright
But you push me away and continue to cry
You know it hurts me inside to see the struggles you have
But I'll never be ashamed to tell the world I'm your Dad
And in that song I wrote you years ago that's called "Lil Man"
I told you I would always be there to lend you my hands

The light in the sky is a beautiful prism
And my beautiful son's beautiful mind is his prison
Stuck in the middle of this everlasting schism
Welcome to life with autism
The light in the sky is a beautiful prism
And my beautiful son's beautiful mind is his prison
Stuck in the middle of this everlasting schism
Welcome to life with autism

If I could walk in your mind and feel the way that you feel
I would trade places with you so quick it's unreal
Instead I study these books, watch these videos too
So I can better understand what it's like to be you
You've taught me patience and for that you know I owe you dear
And you've taught me not just to face but overcome my fears
And I hope that I can teach you everything that I know
Then and now and always as I'm helping you grow
I know that one day we'll sit with our feet in the sand
Lookin' out over the water leading up to the land
Having one of those talks, you know, man-to-man
And this will all be a memory of how it began
If I could walk in your head and see the things that you see
Maybe I would understand how you feel about me
But I see it in your eyes every time that you smile
I know you know I love you, Victor, my beautiful child

The light in the sky is a beautiful prism
And my beautiful son's beautiful mind is his prison
Stuck in the middle of this everlasting schism
Welcome to life with autism
The light in the sky is a beautiful prism
And my beautiful son's beautiful mind is his prison
Stuck in the middle of this everlasting schism
Welcome to life with autism

Welcome to life with autism
Welcome to life with autism
Welcome to life with autism
Welcome to life with autism
