Can’t we just pretend
There’s romance in the degradation?
Slowdance amongst the radiation
Make a home from the devastation
Sing pseudo-love songs under the acid mist
Of course there’s no redemption here
That’s what makes it real
Polyethylene guilds our sepulcher
So we know it’ll last forever
If we’d all tried a little harder
- embraced the sun and sacrifice -
Maybe we could’ve too
Of course there’s no redemption here
That’s what fuels the fear
You know, it’s too bad the experts were right
Too bad the tides continue to rise
Too bad the pretty birds continue to die
I’ve been realizing how much I miss the beach
Too bad that water would melt my teeth
Of course there’s no redemption here
That’s what creates the tears
