Conflict with the City
Dating the beginning of conflict with the City has proved devilishly difficult for scholars, due to fundamental differences in the norms and record keepings of both groups. The City has only been known to be capable of maintaining (loosely at best) records of debt and credit, and the Beach has never been much taken with objective record-keeping in principle, much less in practice. Time - and often space - really are considered guiding markers, at best. Truth be told, the same could be said of the City, though they'd be hard pressed to let themselves be caught cold (let alone on tape and sober) saying so.
Nevertheless, reasonably reliable sources tend to put blame on the City's relentlessly expansive garbage-dumping campaign, and specifically its trucks incursions onto the shores of acidBEACH. It is unclear - and troubling - how the trucks managed to penetrate the barrier that has historically separated the beach from perception, not to mention physical incursion, from the lands within which the City might be said to call home, but one way or another it is well established to have occurred, repeatedly.
Relevant religious fellowships consider the lizard's intervention of utmost importance in putting name to the conflict itself. The leading operating theory of the lizard, at least by this author's understanding, is first environmental and second existential, if a sort of softly articulated humanism could thought to be considered existential.
Leading Theories of the Lizard
Environmental
Recognition that the garbage build-up brought on by the City's dump-trucks will physically overwhelm the Beach, and further, an unclear understanding of the level of toxicity of said garbage and its propensity to poison the varied denizens, residents, squatters, homesteaders, joy-makers, travelers-through, hearts-beaters, plants-be-ers, and all other etc.ers of the Beach, many of whom have a wide range of tolerance and sensitivity to a wide range of poisons, particularly those which in years of late seem to have been carried in the refuse of the City.
There is, of course, an aesthetic consideration to an ever-growing trash heap encroaching upon the shores of singular transcendence, but this is thought to be a secondary consideration.
The Non Deum Compassionate Intervention
Also referred to as the 'friendly Lizard', or 'demigod that would prefer we be just a bit better' theory holds that the Lizard has some mind towards helping the City work itself out of the pits it has so voraciously eaten itself down to, and that an intervention along said lines might be just the starting point. Adherents are quick to point to the fact that this only further underscores the importance of putting environmental considerations as the first line and order of business, given the inextricable interweaving of both. The Lizard's rumored propensity towards multi-dimensional modalities of thought is, of course, relevant.
The Beach
Continues to evade description.
Ballads
Ballad
What if you never left me
No goodbye when you left town
When you left town
When you left town
When you left my side see
What if we we weren’t just part time lovers
Leaned a little bit closer
Little closer
Wouldn't think you'd find me here
Don't think you know me now
Don't think I know just how I'm going
But time keeps slipping
Time keeps slipping for you
But I’m stranded here on acid beach
Gotta know
Whether we're a way to go
Stranded here and I don't know, something more..
Then sunset's pretty
The sun sets straight in your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
Well the sun sets straight in your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes
You just seem so certain
Nothing knows what is coming
I don't know about nothing
But I know this
You were meant to be my side
Meant to be my side
Meant to be my side
No I know this
The sun sets straight into your eyes
The Actual Ballad

Lizard in the moons reflection

But

Baby I don’t know if that’s real
Sun kissed love if I gotta go
I’ll make it back babe yeah I promise those
Yeah I promise No I promise those
City lights can’t blind me now
F- G- Abdim
But oh how those days turned to nights
Love to a fight
Three years of our life
I think we might be wasting our time
You light up in the moons reflection
As time takes a beat to breathe
Sun hid beneath the shadows
But something tells me it’s just a dream
Eyes wide thirsty and homesick
Only thing I took away
Never trade love for glory
Don’t be sad it’s a happy ending no
