We're not content to just admire
beauty in it's natural state.
We are driven to desecrate.
Possession is our sole desire.
A blossom on its verdant spire
has magic that we can't create.
We're not content to just admire
beauty in its natural state.
Jealously, we must acquire
that which holds a desired trait.
Callously, we don't hesitate
to destroy that which we aspire.
We're not content to just admire.
