Freedom Is Gonna Kill Us - Half Wolf

Matrix

Pretty Lonely is a bedroom prayer on what it is to be alone with self acceptance. Half Wolf opens the door for you to witness her work through universal insecurities lyrically and musically alone.

Pretty Lonely

Picture this: You’re 17 years old in the passenger seat of your first boyfriend’s 2007 maroon Saturn ion. It’s summer, so you cruise with the windows down and the music up on the back dirt roads of North Dakota. He lights up his fourth cigarette in ten minutes and whines for you to smoke with him. You say, “No” because you know better and don’t like to be told what to do. He rolls the windows up and lights another. You close your eyes and hold your breath as long as you can. You glance at the clock realizing you’re 45 minutes late to family dinner. And you want a cigarette.

Cigarette Smoke

I wish I didn’t look at 
My phone every three minutes
Waiting for you 
To make your move 
I’m hoping you offer to show me around 
This city
Supposedly it’s full of angels
I’ll be okay 
If you’re just my stranger from last night 
I’ll be okay 
If we just get to dance together one time
I’ll be okay 
I’ll be okay my stranger 
Who do you think I am when I’m not 
Two shots deep and rolling my ankles
 on the concrete cracks 
you were making me laugh 
I wasn’t prepared to meet your stare 
I’ll be okay 
If I’m just your stranger from last night 
I’ll be okay 
If we just get to dance together one time 
I’ll be okay 
I’ll be okay my stranger 

You got me when you commented 
on the moon like you knew
That I would not be able to forget you
I’d never ever tell you that you made me 
call my mom 
I just needed someone to tell me I didn’t do anything wrong 
And that I’ll be okay 
If I’m just your stranger 
from last night 
I’ll be okay if I just get 
to dance with you one time 
I’ll be okay 
I'll be okay my stranger

My Stranger

Half Wolf is an artist with the intent to invoke the animal within us.  She draws inspiration from a foundation in folk and blues. Through storytelling, she conjures our messy and untamed emotions. No one is safe from her gaze when she takes the stage. Wolf believes in equal focus to multi-medium projects through collaboration. Now, more than ever, we need to find our pack and howl.
