about

From the November 2017 album: "The Garden (Life)"

lyrics

Pansy so delicate
your name is spoken in vein
derogatory fame
Soft and weak
You're nothing like cactus
hibiscus or oleander

And then the winter came
and everything dried up and died
leaves fell from the trees
the Hibiscus cried
The flowers fell from
the highway divide
The cactus shriveled up inside

Who was left after the freeze
under the bamboo and budding trees
wasn't the rose or the mighty sunflower
It was the soft little weakling without any power
The Pansy drowned but never died
The Pansy blossomed and survived
You're welcome to use my name in vein
Because you're all dead an I'm the same
mighty pansy
