Lyrics
I've been talking and talking to you
I've been trying to communicate with you.
But I get no response
Despite my efforts, there is no response from you.
I try to blend in with the flock
I attempt to fit in with others, but I unintentionally drive them away.
But I scatter them off
My actions cause those around me to disperse.
I smile to feign that I'm friendly
I pretend to be friendly by smiling, but in reality, I'm aggressive.
But I'm really baring my teeth
Despite the facade, I am hostile and defensive.
You say that the gate swings wide
You claim that opportunities are available, but I feel excluded.
But why is there no room for me?
I question the lack of space or acceptance for me despite the open gate.
You say the sheep recognize your voice
You assert that others recognize your authority, but I feel neglected.
Is that why I don't hear from you anymore
I wonder if that's why I no longer hear from you.
I like to pretend that I'm holy
I like to pretend I'm virtuous, but in reality, I'm deceptive.
But I am a wolf in sheep's clothing
I confess that I am not what I appear to be—a wolf disguised as a sheep.
You might think that you know me
You may think you understand me, but I deceive you with falsehoods.
But I lie straight through my teeth
I consistently lie without hesitation.
You say the sheep recognize your voice but my God I don't
You claim recognition from others, but I, unfortunately, do not.
Speak in a language I understand because I want to know
I want communication in a way that makes sense to me.
I want to live and you promise life and life to the full
I desire a fulfilling life, as promised, but I am afraid to confront my true nature.
But I'm terrified to realize that I am a wolf
I realize with fear that I am fundamentally a wolf in sheep's clothing.
I am a wolf
I acknowledge my true identity as a wolf.
