Bethany.

Bethany.

Malicious memories,

Battles she fought, wounds never seen

Searching through the lost and found

Ripped by her kindness

Her greatest ecstasy

She listened to everybody’s grief.

Immersed herself

she sank sank sank

Bethany

Took the bus to church,

Gave an ear to everyone, she conquered a crown,

Listened to all, surviving,

every night she repents, moisture on her face

Flickering lights on the corner of the street

She killed someone, dragged the body to the basement

Cleaning the blood in the attic,

she wrapped herself in a fresh blanket,

when she thought was her responsibilities

Bethany

Her shoulder was heavy with her deeds, helplessly

Drawers filled with unpaid receipts

When will she realize

The one she killed is bethany. Oh! Bethany

Dancing in the dark, footprints on a sea

Listening to every wave, leaving endings which are hollow,

Cause' she was sinked into sorrow like a sponge.

Bethany

Breathlessly,

She was filled with jealousy,

She wanted someone to share her emptiness with,

Which seeps into her glass mind on midnights, sleeplessly,

She killed Bethany, she killed herself,

Bethany

Desperately she went on a walk by sea,

She heard her screams, felt something died inside of her

Fragile feelings she'd concealed

Bethany

Magic of the words turn into cinder,

Flickering lights

Malicious memories,

Don't be like Bethany,

Leave behind kindness which hurts sensibility,

Oh! Bethany.
