Something Stupid I Did
as a Teenager
I may feel like an ant
Under a burning microscope
I may feel like a hermit
Who lost his friends long ago
I may feel like a junkie
Going through his worst withdrawals
But I will not die alone in this desert.

Tyler Eveland

The soda cans have exploded
And I have no water
My engine is corroded
As my mind is being slaughtered
Don’t ask me why I’m here
Just don’t even bother
Because I will not die alone in this desert.
The sun is at its highest
As I am stranded on the road
I’d complain to a friend
But that friend flew home.
In a world of big crowds
I feel so alone
So I might
Just die
In
This
Desert.
