Yargh..you'd have to click the link to view the notes and my barely decipherable babbling so here they are in case you don't wanna...

If you want to skip all the indecipherable (even to me) gibberish, the actual song does not begin till around 2:25 :*)

I'm sorry that you're feeling sad, I'm sorry that you're feeling blue
Actually, I'm not sorry because I hardly notice you
I'm limited in empathy, my capacity for sympathy
Makes it very hard to see you sitting there across from me
You treat me all too tenderly, it makes it very for me to
notice the effects that it is having on your sanity (changed from recording)
I tolerate your company, in fact I even pick you up
It hardly could be my fault if it isn't good enough..
I'd tell you that you were pretty, also talented and witty
I'd sing to you a praise or two, but lying won't set well with me
I am too smart to heed the subtle warnings that (you have tried to force upon me)?
I've said enough? at least as much as I am capable

You talk to me as we lie here...Some gibberish I hardly hear why do you talk at all my dear? The logic to me is not clear..

My brain is like a giant moon and you are like a tiny spoon..You'll try and try all you may please, you'll never hack through all the cheese...

Even though for now you'll do, I am superior to you
And I've done better in the past, it's not my fault it didn't last..
Though maybe I will be sorry when it's too late and youve found somebody
Willing to be more tolerant, patient, and affectionate to you

Oh dang fail (repeat)

(previous verse accidentally repeated..not sure how final structure will be)

(Chorus) how many times will these three chords be used in a song? It's infinite!

Perhaps I love somebody else or am or am not clueless to the reasons why my feelings fall so flat when I am with you..

You are hysterical and needy and emotionally greedy
It drains me of my energy to write this song to you

Oh dang fail (chorus)...end....





"Oh Dang Fail" was the suggested chorus for this song from my Facebook Pal, Dennis Dillow...and (ironically?) it FITS....Originally it was gonna be called "Cassandra Syndrome", but then I thought that was a cliche, so it is Cassandra Syndrome spelled backwords..and that is not intendted to be a blip on the radar of any specific person....but for those curious about it, one can read up on it on the Wikileaks...
I am a mildly autistic person, and have found in dating other mildly autistic people, that we can be subject to the same stuff that we dish out due to the fact that we can be very absorbed by our "inner worlds" and all that...So I "understand" what Non autistic people go thru when they have to deal with us sometimes, though there is not a whole lot I can do about it :*)
I did not write this song to be hurtful, I wrote this song as a means of venting my frustration, and I have STRONG doubts that anyone who might have inspired this song will even notice it is here....I thank this mystery wonder-person for at least inspiring this song, as I am grateful to every person who has ever inspired the creative pain needed to come up with songs that I have written and like...

I really like your singing style, it sort of reminds me of Kate Bush. By the way where do you get your clothes from?

Awesome!

Where's the "Like" button?

Nice to see you again.

Hey, was wondering when you'd come back

Love the lyrics! I think Cassandra syndrome definitely does exist in some cases.

LOL. These things are usually a trainwreck but that was pretty good. Thanks. I enjoyed it.

I've listened to this a few times now. I really enjoy it. Thank you so much for sharing!

And it can exist in AS/AS relationships....I have been trying to work thru it...Am drained and finding it difficult to articulate....

Uhm...I am def. on the spectrum. I have too many traits not to be...and yet I have been having troubles in my relationship with my "textbook" "Aspie" boyfriend..I don't mean the lyrics to be mean..but his extreme stoicism vs. my um...(Howyousay)....inability to "read" him or play "girl" games has caused me some degree of emotional pain..I have tried to rationalize the feelings away over and over again without ever really confronting him with them, but things had reached a point where I kinda sorta snapped....But hopefully we are working things out now, though I have not showed the song to him...

Having to be confronted with emotional issues REALLY messes with him, and I feel SOOOO bad for confronting him with troubles I was having..I feel like a complete cad!!..Cause I love him and don't wanna hurt him, but had kept going thru rough times and um..it was the full moon...and....Yaaar!
He is a completely beautiful person, but the same thing keeps happening to him over and over in what few relationships he has been in...and it sucks that it was happening with me..and I feel terrible....but I HAD to do something, cause I was hurting....
I hope I did not hurt him too badly, and I still have never showed him the song...which I did not intend to be mean....

You're adorable

That was too much adorable. I need a cigarette break.

my point was somewhat missed...ah well...
