lyrics

Ah, you see
The pretty flower.
You see
The pretty flower.

He could not live
In your glass of water.

Ah, you see
The pretty flowers.
You see
All the pretty flowers.

But I see…
I see the…

Insects that rape them
And shred their petals
Half decapitated by predators
Lonely stems, bored
Staring at the sun or
Sitting in the cold mud
Almost drowned or
Blown away
Ripped Out
Snapped
At the spine of the ground
By human hands.

Pretty flower.
Waiting to die
In your cup of water.

Pretty flower.
Could not live
In your glass of water.
