"Neglected Space" lyrics

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!
If you'll 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, save me the ache of slow-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...

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... keep-out!
No, no, 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, no human touch, I'm walked past, I'm a waste of space
I'm a nuisance, a hazard, abandoned, unwanted
Unwanted!
Lights off!
I'm losing grip
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

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?
