Pretty Little Monstera

[Intro] [whispered vocals, eerie botanical ambience, distorted guitar swells] You couldn't wait for the harvest... So you swallowed the thorns. [Verse 1] [soft haunting vocals, slow heavy guitars] You found me growing in the shadows, A little green beneath the stone. You saw something you could take from, But never something I could own. You reached into my garden, Before the season had arrived. You pulled apart the petals, Just to see if I was alive. [Pre-Chorus] [building vocals, tense drums, layered harmonies] I told you I was still growing, I told you I was not complete. But you wanted all my sweetness Without waiting for the seed. [Chorus] [huge emotional vocals, heavy guitars, screams underneath] You ate my fruit while it was unripe, Then blamed me for the pain. You said I was poisonous, But you never let me change. Those little needles in my body Were never meant to hurt you. They were only there protecting The parts you never grew to know. Pretty little monstera, I was never made to consume. You wanted my flowers, But you destroyed the fruits that could've bloomed. [Verse 2] [raspy punk vocals, heavier drums] You called me bitter, You called me cruel. But you were the one who broke the rules. A garden isn't something you own, A heart isn't something you take. You can't rip apart the roots And blame the tree for the ache. [Bridge] [heavy breakdown, screamed vocals] YOU TORE OPEN THE FRUIT! BEFORE IT WAS READY! YOU TASTED THE THORNS! THEN CALLED ME DEADLY! I WASN'T POISON! I WASN'T WRONG! YOU JUST COULDN'T WAIT FOR ME TO GROW STRONG! [Final Chorus] [cinematic vocals, massive guitars] One day my fruit will be sweeter, But you'll never know the taste. You ruined the garden Because you couldn't wait. Pretty little monstera, Still reaching for the sun. You thought you found a monster... You only found someone. [Outro] [soft whisper] Next time... wait for the fruit to ripen.
