lyrics

MONSTERA DELICIOSA

I am a warrior in the battles of neighbors and lovers.
I collect dust and flicker flackers of light
and driblets of water water water.
I get tended to by loving botanists
who turn their back when the money runs out
cruel glances, rough hands.
The winter is long when the knives are on the table.

Is collecting dust supposed to be an occupation?
Here I am proper windowsill decoration.
I once was a princess from South America
now I'm a desert drought dust of hysteria.

No furnace can fool me which country I am in.
A greenhouse is still a house and a louse is still a louse
no matter how charming the particulars, no matter how fancy the cigars.

I am the jungle that once was and the jungle that will be again.
To remind you we are meant to be growing
monstera big monstera deliciosa monstera forever.

The room that I room in, is not the room I doom in
it's the room I bloom in
now you know.
