Black Sheep is about feeling alone/isolated. Written in the heart of 2020, it's about the struggle to stay ahead of the chaos and impending doom, while constantly being hunted by your vices.

lyrics

This road is so long
How long has it been
I feel the night closin' me in once again

Cold and tired
No fuel for the fire
There's no rest in a world where the shadows conspire

And I'm tryin' to run, Lord, as fast as I can
Away from the things that I can't understand
But all my temptations keep draggin' me down
And deep in the darkness they howl

Aaaoooo
I hear the wolves all around me
Aaaoooo
All on my own I'm the black sheep

The glow is gone
And my mind is worn thin
These whispers and words are gettin' under my skin

Sticks and stones
This world hasn't been warm or kind to me
The scars are my shackles that I can't break free

Lord, I run and I run but I can't get away
I just can't escape from this bed that I've made
And all my temptations keep followin' me
And deep in the darkness they sing

Aaaoooo
I hear the wolves all around me
Aaaoooo
All on my own I'm the black sheep
