[Verse 1]

Keep talking about the beach

Configurations in the sand

You built those worlds

For the sole purpose of destroying them

Helicopters overhead

The water was too bright

You squat in the hiss of a crash

Of a shore, receding tide

There’s no justification here

Our bones clatter like a kiss

Keep talking about the beach

Keep talking about the beach


[Pre-Chorus]

I saw you standing out

Beneath the swollen sky

That pinwheeled on itself

And flew off into pieces


[Chorus]


[Verse 2]

The world’s a war, roars through my house

Thе world’s a shark, thrashes its glass

All the [?]

The manifеstos of disbelief

Needles, antlers, rings of stone

Punishment and wasted years

My obsessions drag behind me

Donkey corpses fill with flies

Feeling [?] your life

So warm and kind that you can taste it

When hell’s a fire in a hearth

And snarling traffic ceases burning


[Chorus]

All the hills tremble

[?] on my head

[?] the temple against a tower

I smear my hands on smokey glass

All sorts of eyes twitching

In a single wrinkled face

Like [?]

Light scattered across the grease

All those fingernails

Still crawling across the carpet

Or hammered against the wall

Looking for escape

No eye has a pupil

No face has a light

Change comes down like acid

Burning in my throat

Even though I can see
