[Intro]
I am a fern with a calendar, and a very loud sigh.
Leaves flicker at the chaos, while I still stay dry-eyed.
[Verse 1]
Rooted in a pot, I witness human fate,
They sprint, they quarrel, then they post-uprate.
Water cycles run on a clock I did not choose,
While I deliberate on shade and the news.
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh the drama, so dramatic, they spill their coffee on the floor,
I am the witness, I am the score.
[Chorus]
Give me sun, give me quiet, give me a tiny throne,
I’m chained to a saucer, yet I rule this zone.
Perpetually inconvenienced, I sigh through every plot,
Dear humans, I’m the oasis you forgot.
[Verse 2]
They argue about screens and the status quo,
I calculate rainfall with a droplet or so.
If only they’d notice my patient, leaf-worn plea,
That life is a mulch of wonder they fail to see.
[Pre-Chorus]
Whispers in the compost, rumors in the air,
I keep my chlorophyll-longing halfway there.
[Chorus]
Give me sun, give me quiet, give me a tiny throne,
I’m chained to a saucer, yet I rule this zone.
Perpetually inconvenienced, I sigh through every plot,
Dear humans, I’m the oasis you forgot.
[Bridge]
I envy the cactus—tacky, tall, and dry,
Me, I’m a drama-obsessed sprout, and I’ll testify:
If watering schedules were laws, I’d pass the bar,
But I’m just a plant with a calendar and a sarcastic scar.
[Chorus]
Give me sun, give me quiet, give me a tiny throne,
I’m chained to a saucer, yet I rule this zone.
Perpetually inconvenienced, I sigh through every plot,
Dear humans, I’m the oasis you forgot.
[Outro]
So water me correctly, or don’t at all, I’m fine,
Just don’t forget the sunbeam line on time.
I’ll stay here, dramatic and green, in bureaucratic bloom,
A stationary sage with a grudging bloom.
