Lone wolf I be

Lone wolf that's me

Lone wolf I'll die

No one will cry

I've stalked the earth

since my birth

But you don't see

through me

To you I am 'nothing'

I know you are bluffing

What do you see 

when you see me?

A loner

A no one

But here's some knowledge you don't own:

not all loners like to be alone.

Lone wolf I be

Lone wolf that's me

Lone wolf I'll die

No one will cry

You have seen

what you want to view

I have slipped between

the cracks for you.

I guess that's fine...

own soul though, hun.

Here again the knowledge you do not yet own:

Not all loners like to be alone.

Some cry at night.

Some put up a fierce fight.

Some prowl around,

some practically live underground.

But lone wolf I still be

Lone wolf, that's me

Lone wolf I will someday die

I doubt anyone will cry

Even though you now may own

the knowledge that Not all loners like to be alone.

My grave will be alone

just lying there, a stone.

Soon covered in vines

the fingers of time.

You may pass by

but you don't care;

you won't cry.

Alone I'll be there

waiting

praying

Alone I'll stay.

As you stay away.

Lone wolf I be

Lone wolf, that's me

Lone wolf I will die

I highly doubt anyone will cry

Even while the knowledge you own,

that Not all loners like to be alone.

So why am I still?

I must wait for another,

until?

Until what?

So for now:

Until then,

my lone wolf prowls

at night I howl

by day I growl

they'll never know how foul

my feelings are.

Tears apart my heart.

Part by part.

It has from the start.

But lone wolf I still be.

Lone wolf, yes that's me.

Lone wolf I'll someday die.

But no one will cry.

Not for me.

Never will that, I see.

My last request, 

please carve

from the heart

into my gravestone,

that: 

Not all loners like to be alone

Lone wolf I be

Lone wolf that's me

Lone wolf I will die

Maybe now one will cry
