Dripping through the soil
A foul form of water
Turning my roots to liquid
Do you see what you're doing to this world?
Your monstrous vehicles
Leaking foul fluids
Poisoning me
Poisoning my friends
The world once luscious and full of desire
Turned into a disgrace
Desolate plains
Flowers once blooming
Now theres blood on the ground
Man's tragic nature lying beside it
Cement statues higher then one can see

Do you see them?
You see sprouts of life in your garden
You notice a plant
Something that “doesn’t belong”
Isn’t it strange how you pluck it away?
For you call them foul
Label them weeds
Didn’t you want plants in the first place?

Things don’t go your way
You curse us
Swear we’re invading
Isn’t that interesting?
Last I checked
The only lethal one here
Is you
