Default I'm a wolf!

animated, celebrated, and intense
I roam a world without pretence
I知 a wolf
in solemn lines I raze the plains
and sing the songs that have no names
I feel no love or pain
I知 a wolf

venerated, unrelenting, and composed
I drift down paths that no one knows
I知 a wolf
eyes fixed on ground will never meet
another pair and feel complete
It痴 scenery to me
I知 a wolf

and if you wander off the darkened trail
you may feel a secret stare watch your every move
and I like how I do what I do!
I知 a wolf! I知 a wolf!

surreptitious, omnipresent, and astute,
content to be alone with truth
I知 a wolf
for countless sights and sounds I致e known
will live in memory alone
that no one else can own
I知 a wolf

and the sun will circle overhead
and come back around again
and I will find no bed
to suit my restless head

and if you wander off the darkened trail
you may feel a secret stare watch your every move
and I知 the moon, forever on the prowl
a surveyor and a stranger to all
and I get what I want when I want!
I知 a wolf! I知 a wolf!

This one may very well never come to be with music. In my head it's more of a rock song than something I could accomplish on my own. But I have the day off tomorrow, so I promise I will at least make an effort to a) work out some way to do it acoustically, or b) try and simulate the way I hear it in my head.

Good luck singing that. You'll be a great yet. I wrote two choruses yesterday. I think my writer's block has vanished. I've decided just to focus not on being a great but being the drunken bafoon I am.

Did you record this one. If you haven't yet I demand it and every "I am wolf" must have enough spunk to want me to crap my pants backwards (ew).

Anyways.

Bye.

I don't know if I have it in me to record it. I have a sort of acoustic version that's just...well it gets boring pretty quickly. But the way I always envision it is really rockish, with a lot of don't-give-a-fuck swagger and shrieking on the "I'm a wolf!"s. And that's a hard thing to pull of convincingly when your natural demeanor is nothing like that.

Maybe I'll play it live sometime whilst drunk and having a bad day and get someone to record it. I think that's the only way to pull this one off.

Also you were totally right..."surreptitious" is a hard word to sing without hating yourself.
