All artist proceeds from sales of this song will be donated to charities that provide support and research dollars to help those with autism, autism spectrum conditions, and their families. Autism affects 1 in 110 children and 1 in 70 boys. Your purchase will help find treatments for this condition and spread the word that those with autism need support and acceptance to find their place in the world. The song "Trapped" began as a collaboration between Jeremy Cubert and Tom Kraus - former members of the mid-90's Maryland progressive rock band "Brave New World." Jeremy sent Tom some recent material he had recorded and one song in particular inspired Tom to put pen to paper. The resulting lyrics tell the story of an autistic boy trapped in his own world as those who love him try to find a way in - to make a connection. Those who have struggled with autism and autism spectrum conditions know the challenges and struggles of finding acceptance and a place in a world that often does not understand or care. Music is a powerful way of connecting to others and sending a message about this important condition.

Is it unreal for you? Try living inside this shell Inside of this endless hell…
