Isolation 04:22
lyrics

I, I walk alone I, I walk alone On my, my sunny side of the street On my, my sunny side of the street Why do you have to wreck my peace of mind? Why do you talk about me all the time? I, I ebb and flow Wherever I go I, I beat to my own drum I, I've never felt so numb

Melancholy 04:39
lyrics

Tell me how I'm supposed to feel What is fake and what is real? Life is filled with too much stress Got me feeling so depressed Melancholy I am back again To say hello Melancholy I am back again To say hello In a gloomy state of mind I've been here a thousand times Searching for a sense of warmth I haven't felt in quite some time Melancholy I am back again To say hello Melancholy I am back again To say hello Sick and tired of always feeling sad Life got me convinced I'm going mad Looking at the person in the mirror Don't know if it's me inside of there

Slow 05:24

I feel alone in crowds of people, but so lonely without you All I want is your sweet company each day like morning dew Oh, the distance that's between us is eating away at me The darkness clouding my perception makes it hard for me to see The sunshine through my window as I spend my days inside Writing in my notebook about what keeps me up at night Attempting communication or to destroy the lack there of Subtract the separation and all that's left between us is love So when can I come see you? Tell me baby and I'm coming through I can feel our dreams are coming true Together at last, no more doom and gloom Getting drunk and riding round the city on your bike Taking orders from no one which is truly what I like Your free spirit is an inspiration to a man like me Every time I get lost in my head, you come set me free Last time I saw you, we were standing by the ocean as we watched the sun go down Walking round, we see our moonlight shadows on the ground Dolphins came to surface in the center of our view Now all that I'm left wondering is When can I come see you? Tell me baby and I'm coming through I can feel our dreams are coming true Together at last, no more doom and gloom I'm not worried bout the future cause when I'm with you, I feel infinite as the night sky, I do Speeding over the bridge, music blasting, the little things in life that used to bother me pass by If only you loved me the way I love you

Mystery Girl 05:07
lyrics

I don't even know your name But I love the vibes you give to me When I make eye contact with you Girl, you take away my misery Girl, I wanna get to know you You look so comfortable inside your skin Beautiful on the outside I can't wait for you to show me what's inside of your heart You're my mystery girl Oh so mysterious Mystery girl And I like to see you When you pass by Pass by me Wonder if we'd share a spark If I were to say hello I don't know where I would start Cause girl, you are beautiful Every time that our eyes meet I am greeted with a smile And I can't help but smile too Wish that I could stay a while You're my mystery girl Oh so mysterious Mystery girl And I like to see you When you pass by Pass by me I saw you outside after school Standing there all by yourself And took the opportunity For me to introduce myself You said your name and shook my hand I felt the warmth of your contact My heart, it started beating fast A feeling that was soon to pass You're my mystery girl Oh so mysterious Mystery girl And I like to see you When you pass by Pass by me Now that I have talked to you You're not so much a mystery But when I looked at your profile I saw that you're with somebody

Another Song 01:54
lyrics
buy track
You said you were super interested And I'm glad I wasted the moments I invested All the passion I felt matched by insincerity You didn't wanna be in love with me I started to think about the future But what I provided really didn't suit you So the next day you extinguished my love's fire You couldn't give the love that I require My biggest flaw is I fall in love too hard So my stomach's full of sulphur and my heart is filled with scars Need to stare up into space and lose myself inside the stars I feel so far away So I'll light another cigarette and stand out in the rain Let the rain drops envelop me and help dilute the pain Brought me to my knees, my heart is weak Oh, happiness, the benefit I'm not allowed to reap Oh, you stomped me out like the cigarette I threw to the pavement And the grieving of the loss of you is just another Day spent And even though our fun endeavor didn't last long You were good for me To write another song

Your Eyes 04:14
lyrics
buy track
I saw a speck of sadness in a sea of smiles So many layers underneath and I wanna know why Please tell me your story I promise I'll listen As you start to think about it Your eyes begin to glisten You're about to tear up I'm about to tear up All I want now is for you to cheer up Explain yourself to me It's what's inside I want to see Your complex emotions Have so much overlooked beauty Girl, your eyes are making me crazy Girl, your eyes are making me crazy Girl, your eyes are making me crazy Girl, your eyes are making me crazy You, darling you I want to understand you So tell me why you're feeling blue I'll do for you what I can do to prove to you That I can be trusted Truthfully, I see my own reflection in your eyes I have troubles connecting, so this took me by surprise It takes another human being to help me recognize That the sadness that I'm seeing Is a reflection of my own life Fuck. Girl, your eyes are making me crazy Girl, your eyes are making me crazy Girl, your eyes are making me crazy Girl, your eyes are making me crazy You, darling you Your eyes

Cold 05:46

The weather is so damn cold But so are you Your personalities are toxic Compassion, this whole community has lost it Cold So cold Cold So cold Frostbitten emotions Let's drink a loving potion No sentiments or feelings, oh no We must begin the healing, oh yeah Cold So cold Cold So cold So quick to start a conflict Why can't we just avoid it? Avoid it altogether Warming up the weather Cold So cold Cold So cold Cold So cold Cold So cold

Dream 03:51
lyrics

Wonder what it would be like to live my dream Haven't made it yet, but Ima keep trying Up late wide awake every night writing Because I live for the poetry And the music too, don't wanna sing the blues Wanna spread good vibes, wanna spread my truth Gonna spread my wings and fly until the heavens open up for me Used to be so damn depressed, I couldn't even lift my head Didn't see the point in even getting out of bed Couldn't find a reason to exist where I was at But then I found my lifestyle, focused on my craft I chose the path of music, I pursue it every day And I wouldn't wanna keep on living any other way Ima keep pursuing it relentlessly until the day I die Too depressed when I am back in my hometown Cause I'm down with the sickness and it's bringing me down Don't need your doubts, you're a cloud in my sky And I'd rather go blind from looking sunlight in the eye Spent so many nights here trying to visualize What it would be like to live a meaningful life Playing to a crowd of people cheering cause they care about me Maybe I'll have to keep working Summers on the farm But it's causing me harm, don't wanna set my alarm Some day soon, I'm gonna tour the world Spread my passion to the boys and girls Wake up dormant minds, bring the lost souls peace Provide everybody what music provided me And I'm never gonna stop because this is my dream

Overconfident Idiots 02:47
lyrics
buy track
Those with the least to be proud of tend to have the most pride Too many people do the things they do to get paid Too many people do the things they do to get laid The people who act with complete sincerity get played Please give me a reason I should stay I wish I still had the confidence I had before I knew a thing about the world I see these people, so many people, living in the bliss of ignorance I wish I still had the confidence I had before I knew a thing about the world All of these people, ever deceitful, overconfident idiots You say that you can take on the world, but yet to try You talk about these dreams meanwhile watching life pass you by The window of opportunity gone, blink of an eye What if I told you confidence was a lie? I wish I still had the confidence I had before I knew a thing about the world I see these people, so many people, living in the bliss of ignorance I wish I still had the confidence I had before I knew a thing about the world All of these people, ever deceitful, overconfident idiots I wish I still had the confidence I had before I knew a thing about the world I see these people, so many people, living in the bliss of ignorance I wish I still had the confidence I had before I knew a thing about the world All of these people, ever deceitful, overconfident idiots

Thank You 02:35
lyrics
buy track
Thank you to the people who abandoned me for keeping me from turning out like you I can't imagine how depressing life would be if I was still doing the same old shit you do Oh, you talked shit and excluded me; this feeling, it was new to me, so I had to resort to isolation In spending time alone with my thoughts, found the time spent with you was time wasted So thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you for leaving me behind so I could learn to think with my own mind While my old friends were moving in crowds, following trends that don't matter now While you were chasing tail, I've been practicing While you were fucking round, I was analyzing While you were vandalizing, I've been writing songs of peace So now this is the time for my release Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Sometimes I wonder what life would be like If I had tried to fit in with that crowd But I decided to live my life And look at me now Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you, thank you very much

about

Lone Wolf continues the narrative of Depressed, but Optimistic with a particular emphasis on themes of loneliness, failed attempts at finding love, heartbreak, societal lack of empathy and open-mindedness, welcoming toxic people out of one's life, the luxury of living a life of solitude, and finding the beauty in self-preservation through artistic creation. Listen to this album in the dark at night or while staring out a window on a gloomy day, or perhaps while driving through the desert.

Huge thanks to my friends/collaborators Eli Luce-Baraceros and Skyler Moosman for sticking with me through two albums. You guys have been so generous to make time for my projects despite the chaos of the demands of school and I really appreciate it! Another big thank you to Luke Hagerman for playing bass in my band and being such a good friend. And thank you to my friends, family, teachers, and everyone who has supported me and believed in me. I love and appreciate all of you!
