lone wolf

When the lone wolf was a young boy He went outside into the trees to play A sharp pain and his world began to change At once he felt the passion And the overwhelming shame And with the moon they became one and the same Once upon every fortnight The lone wolf has dreams where he runs and runs And he's free until the rise of the morning sun But every time he wakes The relief and adrenaline fades And his naked fear and shame stings like a blade And after the dreams have settled The lone wolf looks up to the moon And he kneels and he prays What can you do when you can't run from your fears? How do you feel when you're forced to hide your tears? Can you tell me how to exist with the monster you conceal? And how do you live when you won't dare to reveal? What's inside? Inside How do you hide what's inside? Inside The lone wolf has a companion And the two are as close as Abel and Cain But his secret still stays shrouded with disdain The lone wolf longs for freedom So out the truth would come Yet Cain, he fears contagion and turns to run And from Cain's lips A silver word like daggers through the skin He says, should I be my brother's keeper when he walks with sin? Then the companion made a choice Between the monster and the end So he greeted death as if he were an old friend And after the blood has settled The lone wolf looks up to the moon And he sobs and he prays Where do you go when the entire world wants you gone? How can you see in the light When the dark and the bitter was your home? Can you tell me how to resist When you bite back the freedom to its heels? How do you live when you can't bear to feel? What's inside? Inside How do you see what's inside? Inside The lone wolf gathers in a circle to pray To the one who never heard him The others mourn their losses and share their sorrow and pain He stays solemn and silent, through their hymns of violence Because empathy here is just a one-track train For once the wolf starts howling His unheard voice sparks ignorance and rage And the demons from within spring from their cage Hark, an Exodus of Biblical proportions And like Adam, he hides from God with shame And after the carnage has settled The lone wolf looks up to the moon And he weeps and he And I Where do I hide from the moon and her soldiers and their smite? And how do I love when I sever connection with a bite? When can I give in to the shame that I feel through a mirror's eye? And how do I live when the rejection makes me wanna die? From what's inside Inside How do I kill what's inside? Inside Moonlit walks down the damned path of the lonely Of the lonely No, no direction No protection from the light that threatens to control me Maybe I should just give in and let it out and howl into the night Because I'm the bane of the heartless And I'll be unloved regardless So why can't I just let the fear burn bright? And just run, run away Run, run away Free Free Free The lone wolf is wandering and receives an invitation to a bonfire And he goes in search of the connection he desires And he's again in a circle A story ready to reveal And maybe, just maybe, he can unseal What's inside? How do I start to love what's inside? Inside
