“a song about bugs and how NOT to care for your dog and garden”
—author's comment
"Perennial Crisis", originally called ABERRANT GARDEN, is a song featuring Kagamine Rin and Len by Monstrosity. It is part of the Vanishing World series. The story reads as follows:
A botanist by the name of Arthur Tagetes lost his daughter, Kaylee, when she was just 4 years old in the year 1992. She wasn't killed, at least, he hoped not; she was stolen from him. The next 8 years of his life was spend searching desperately for his little daughter, as he swore he saw a being snatch her away.
When his wife, Soliana Tagetes, was wrongly killed by police in a freak, almost inexplicable turn of events, his life started to go even more downhill. Still, he kept up his search, determined to find Kaylee Tagetes. He couldn't accept that both his wife and daughter were gone forever.
In the year 2000, Arthur and his team had discovered a strange, massive yet previously undetected garden in northern California. Well, "garden"... Most of the plants and animals here were mutants and monsters! And as soon as he walked into the garden... and without even feeling it...
...Arthur himself had turned into a monster.
"This can't be right..." Arthur thought. "I'm still myself... these monsters, these... amalgamations... they seem brainless..."
As he was lost in thought, a shadow loomed behind him, smiling. He caught sight of her a hair too late, and she forced a collar onto his neck.
"And I'll call youuuu.... Poppy!"
.....
And this was just the beginning of a long, perilous story... sit down, wrap up in a blanket, and grab some popcorn. We have a lot to catch up on if you wanna be a true member of Zone-B- the Faunaflora and Vani hunting organization. What name did you wanna be known as, again? Null? Well, lemme give you more details before I send you off to the Garden, hm?

Lilies in my dreams
Talking, as it seems
Reveries at the seams
Follow the insect theme
It is quite divine
Eyes on the top of vines
It'll break a human's mind
Gather 'round, fauna-flora
Add ants to make it more
They're just plants, there's no gore
Crawling around the floor
Growing teeth just like a boar's
It is quite a sight
Clawed weeds are gaining height
Fight through them, though you might
Gather 'round, insectivora
So
One, Two, the ants go marching onwards
Into a world headed towards
A paradise
Of green ambitious vice
Say what you will about me
I can make all of them scream
Were you ever taught
Of things that cannot rot?
Rose thorns that burn you
Never at the zoo
They can crush, they can chew
On that day that they will rule
They're all my design
Though they're just not refined
Mammals left behind
The plants are my priority
One two three four
Here we go into
Fusion of those things
A-a-a-again
Why can't she just
Enjoy the view
Of nature like how
It is meant to be, ah
Things that splinter
Things that shatter
Thing you may
Never ever ever wanna see
Growing lungs and
Growing tongues and
Now my skin's
Crawlin' crawlin' crawlin' in fear
Why, oh why
Oh why, oh why,
Did you return here?
Three, four, the ants go slaying thousands
And shred the world into strands
Don't you dare
Go and crush my dreams
Let it all rain down into your heart
It is all just a new art
Though, in the air
The spores just do not care
Five, six, the ants go dying henceforth
Until I choose the right course
But I can't see
It all has just blinded me
Towards my throat is where the vines shot
I'm not who they should have fought
If it's the end
This is how I'd like it
Lilies in my dreams
Talking, as it seems
Botany at the seams
Follow the insect theme
Now, aren't we divine
Eyes from the top of vines
Could I add a human's mind?
Gather 'round, fauna-flora
Add ants to make it more
They're just plants, there's no gore
Striking from the floor
Growing teeth in sheer horror
It is quite a sight
Clawed weeds are gaining height
They put up quite a fight
Gather 'round, insectivora
So
One, two, the ants go marching onwards
Into a world headed towards
A paradise
Of green ambitious vice
Trim all the lies about me
He'll scream on the count of three
Were you ever taught
That we shall never rot?
Bathed in vibrant hues
Visitors are few
They can crush right through you
By the time that we can rule
They're all my design
Though they're just not refined
Non-bugs left behind
The garden's my priority
One two three four, and
Cross my name out, and
Add my bones to the
Fu-fu-fusion, and
Why can't she just
Accept that life
Will live on like so, and
We can't be killed, ah
Things that splinter
Things that shatter
Thing you may
Never ever ever wanna be
Growing lungs and
Speaking tongues and
Now my skin's
Crawlin' crawlin' crawlin' in fear
Why, oh why
Deny, I tried
Where is my daughter?
Three, four, the ants go slaying thousands
And shred the world into strands
Don't you dare
Go and crush my dreams
Let it all rain down into your heart
It is all just a new art
Though, in the air
The spores just do not care, ah
Five, six, the ants go dying onwards
Until I snap back to Earth
But I can't see
Mind hedges have blinded me
Cut my throat is what the vines did
"You're not the one we want, kid"
They'll rend me dead
And the forest runs red
