The Pruning - Rasputina

On the border of an orchard on a cultivated lawn
Where they practice horticulture there they know what's going on.
They're not afraid to cut it.
Well then the best get picked from this virtuous thicket
By scythe or scissor by instrument and implement.
That's how they cut it.
It's time to trim and thin an invasive vine.
The roots are lifted the leaves are dry.
From natural laws to material things nothing in the truth can be changed.
Oh perilous world - You're showing every sign of losing your heart.
Fledgling and tattered during these strange later days
Just before it all fell apart.
You can build such fantastic palaces on foundations of straw
On weird promises but with one fatal flaw.
The seedling is taken as a delicacy by the sower who's mowing down the nursery.
The reaper is hiding in the flowerbeds.
They're each thinking over what the other said.
They said "We each disturb the earth but you my friend
Yeah you did it first yes you did."
Oh you perilous garden. Forever dying.
