I went right down onto Blast Beach
Our little Chernobyl, Christ
It seems so empty but it feels so right
A red hot thing that’ll last through the night, like your grandads depression

I could only smell burnt bleach
The kind of stuff that really kills covid
I started thinking, that I was a kid
Wondering just really about what they did
The Mermaids in the red pool

And I find it kind of funny when the structure falls apart
From the screams of a lonely teenager singing when will my life start
So I actually laughed out loud being made redundant in comic sans
I wanna find out, what happens on the red sand

And then I tried to look inside
Nothing but chemicals and skimming stones
Tommy watches on the beach at night alone
Nothing ever stops the crashing waves postpone
But they don’t need to breathe though

So run before it gets closer
There’s still a path up to the light ahead
You’ll be more than blue if you get covered in red
It’ll all go out to see the fishes won’t get fed
The parting of the red sea

But I find it kind of funny that the cliffs have still not moved
And the light upon the lighthouse, has still yet to be proved
But I find it even funnier, being made redundant in comic sans

I finally understand the horror movie, with no monster in the sea
And the unknown terror, of terrible weather, in near solitary
So I actually laughed out loud
