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 their forbidden… | |
I am their defenseless 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! | |
If you’ll be good to me, | |
I’ll be good to you. | |
I’m amidst: | |
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 in the ache of soul-decay! | |
Cause 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... | |
By peeling paint, I’m a sunken ceiling, | |
I’m cracking up, and can seem threatening. | |
I’m falling apart. | |
I’m scary at night. | |
Take dark, forbidden: keep out, keep out! No, no, no go forth. | |
A has-been, a once was, the leftovers, an eyesore, bleeding, oxidising, | |
A few remaining, unloved, emotionally damaged, a waste of space, | |
A nuisance, I haven’t had time to become, unwanted! | |
What’s gone? I’m losing it | |
This is not what I stand for | |
This is not what I stand for | |
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’ll take care of me, I’ll take care of you. | |
If you be good to me, then I’ll be good to you. | |
Oh… 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? |
