In the wilderness uncountable voices 
earplugs for the birds and the animals 
and blinders for your beast of burden, the will for learning 
these books were made for burning 
in the wilderness 
beneath the ancient sand lies crushed and tanned those sapphire girls 
may we never forget you 
Alert status red 
but the sun comes up instead 
In the wilderness the only place to find freedom is in the dictionary 
under "F" 
men in holes, men in caves, men in chains I ask but the store clerk needn't check 
man I forget which came first 
the bad idea or me befallen by it? 
not giving a shit may we never forget you 
Alert status red 
but the sun comes up instead 
In the wilderness 
senile live the zealous 
lost to the treasures that compel us 
muted down like patriots amiss 
you know I'm jealous of how you can just turn them off 
those bad ideas that feel so soft 
may they never forget you 
Alert status red 
but the sun comes up instead
