The Beach isn't safe

The Beach isn’t Safe 

I said rest and you thought beach 

It’s really not the same, believe me 

You said it brings calm, but calm won’t last 

It’s only temporary, and now it’s the past 

It’s not a vacation, it’s just a place 

It’s super dangerous, with no escape 

The sand I once walked on, the sand I played in 

The same sand burns my feet, it traps me when it caves in 

I’m scared to get attached, so I stay far away 

But once I let go is when it really starts to call my name 

The beach loves me, it calls me in 

I hate going, but I always cave in 

It only relieves stress, it doesn’t take stress away 

So the stress builds up, day by day 

The beach may be pretty, but it’s just an illusion 

Sand spills into the sea, it’s really just pollution 

Yes, the waves may be nice, but they lull you to sleep 

It’s just a wall to stop you from experiencing 

You think you’re fine, you think you’re safe 

But once you’re in, there’s no escape 

You’ve slept to long for time to heal 

You forgot how to cope, forgot how to feel 

I love you so much it hurts 

But then to see you replace me with her 

I want you to hate me, to hurt, and mistreat 

So it’ll get easier to leave, let go of the beach 

The beach is deceitful, full of lies and tricks 

Now I avoid the one thing I used to love as a kid 

Don’t go to the beach, it’s a big mistake 

You’ll find yourself trapped, like a bird in a cage 

Don’t go to the beach, you’ll never escape 

Yet with wide open arms, La playa awaits
