Hello, I watch you come and go |
|
I know you can hear my voice... don't walk away, |
|
Come daydream with me, In closed loops and future proof |
|
Cardboard to caviar, let's show them how good we are! |
|
If you look after me, I'll look after you |
|
Sonar, night vision or desperate lovers seeking privacy for they're forbidden. |
|
I am their defenceless host. |
|
Through my open wounds they let themselves in |
|
Sheltered (Sheltered), |
|
They mock me (They mock me). |
|
If you stand up for me, I'll stand up for you. |
|
I'm weather beaten, in a losing battle, punctured by nature, becoming... organic |
|
The air in here ages me ungracefully. |
|
But if you take care of me, I'll take care of you. |
|
Oh, my crumbling heart! |
|
But if you be good to me, I'll be good to you. |
|
I'm a nest, I could be the best decision you ever made. |
|
A beacon, your peaceful corner |
|
Find me, cherish me, |
|
Take me on or pull me down. |
|
You choose |
|
Wait! |
|
Oh safe me the ache of slow decay |
|
Coz I will remember you, will you remember me? |
|
Bespoke to broken, this interwoven tapestry of tragedy. |
|
Crooked frames and cracked glazing. |
|
Slithers of wistful window gazes glint in borrowed light. |
|
Where doorways with no door stage a ballet of leaves, |
|
Who pirouette in the footsteps of once glorious days. |
|
But I'm peeling paint, I'm a sunken ceiling |
|
I'm cracking up and can seem threatening. |
|
I'm falling apart. |
|
I'm scary at night. |
|
I'm taped up forbidden |
|
keep out! |
|
No go zone |
|
A has-been, a once was, the leftovers, an eyesore, broken beer bottles. |
|
I'm bleeding, rusty nails, oxidising, a few remaining tiles |
|
Unloved with no human touch. |
|
I'm walked past, a waste of space, i'm a nuisance, a hazard, abandoned, unwanted |
|
Lights off, I'm loosing grip, This is not what I stand for! |
|
It was a perfectly good grand piano. |
|
Stop in the name of love! |
|
I've got just what you're looking for |
|
I've got tree lined interiors where we can dine with the biosphere |
|
If you take care of me, I'll take care of you |
|
If you be good to me I'll be good to you |
|
I'm a story in mourning and you're the author, so pour out your masterpiece. |
|
Entropy increasing, how long before I'm dust? |
|
Can we discuss? |
