Wilderness Remains

I glance down at the road, so warm soaking up the sunlight
and lay down on my side, and let it kiss my cheek
My compass falls from my coat pocket, and spins wildly around
it cannot find North, it does not know the way
So I am lost, and the wilderness remains

Now I drink from a stream in the side of the ditch
the water runs dirty, filled with germs and filth
My stomach churns uneasy, but my thirst lays slaked
while my head spins wildly
The wilderness revolves, the wilderness remains

Standing under an overpass in the cool of evening air
a stenchy wind ruffles my long tangled hair
My eyes are itchy and tear in the breeze
the city is a jungle, and I have fallen prey to the beasts it contains
The city will consume me, the wilderness remains
