Burning Out 04:53
The silent thoughts that break the day The stone that carries your name Flowers in the shade The light out in the haze And I'm burning out Candles flicker through the silk The voice that gives me chills Stranger in the dark A shadow from afar And I'm burning I'm burning out I'm burning out You lied to me And I can see right through you Your words are empty as your heart You lied to me And I can see right through you Your words are empty as your heart You cold nothing The breath I take with pain I've known To ships that don't come home Fire in the sun I'm not the only one no And I'm burning out Your eyes staring deep within A bedroom stained with sin Cold is where I lay Ashamed in misery And I'm burning I'm burning out I'm burning out You lied to me And I can see right through you Your words are empty as your heart You lied to me And I can see right through you Your words are shaking me to the core cold nothing You lied to me And I can see right through you Your words are empty as your heart cold nothing You lied to me And I can see right through you Your words are empty as your heart You cold nothing You cold nothing You cold nothing....

Is there anywhere I can go from here Is there any light to shine the road home Can I count my steps to find the way Can I take a breath I need to breathe Someday I will find you again And we will be always Someday I will find you again And we will be always Is there any place for me Is there anybody out there Is there anything to see Is there anybody out there –out there Is there anywhere I can go from here Is there any light to shine the road home

She walks down the street staring at the pavement Everybody’s walking by her no one pays attention And everything she ever does was so kind yet goes unnoticed She only has herself escapes into the forest.. I'm the girl in the trees My feet bare and running Around as I please I'm never on the ground I'm kissing water from leaves Before the drops hit the sand In the forest I'm free ohh ohh ohh She asks the kids to play Gets laughed at pushed back pushed away Sticks stones and all alone Bullied from the children and bullied from home and She runs a way from the day breaker star makers Running faster climb higher through the trees you know you are… I'm the girl in the trees My feet bare and running Around as I please I'm never on the ground I'm kissing water from leaves Before the drops hit the sand In the forest I'm free ohh ohh ohh She dreams of scraped knees from the bark of her trees and She needs to escape to run to and hide away.... I'm the girl in the trees My feet bare and running Around as I please I'm never on the ground I'm kissing water from leaves Before the drops hit the sand In the forest I'm free I'm the girl in the trees My feet bare and running Around as I please I'm never on the ground I'm kissing water from leaves Before the drops hit the sand In the forest I'm free

Time never cease to amaze me Drives me crazy all my life I wish I could stop the hands Make amends do what’s right Do what’s right Do what’s right Make your stories a memory A legacy you leave behind Take a peace of this emptiness Find what’s left of it And hold on tight Hold on tight Cause everybody needs a way to shine Everybody needs to take there time Everybody needs a way to love Reach inside release the dove.. Please well I can’t change the past If I could I take some back To ease the pain And I’m traveling down this empty road Trying to find what once was home But I can’t go back Can’t go back Cause everybody needs a way to shine Everybody needs to take there time yeah Everybody needs a way to love Reach inside release the dove.. Time never cease to amaze me Drives me crazy all my life I wish I could stop the hands Make amends do what’s right Do what’s right Do what’s right

about

Here is my new six song EP featuring music from Alternative rock, Indie rock to Acoustic Folk. All of the songs have a story to tell, it’s the story of my life and it took me a long time to finally let it all go.

~“Burning out”
Written, performed and produced by Bethany Sky

This is an alternative melodic rocker with strong lyrics about being lied to. This song started as just a simple acoustic song and then I just couldn't stop myself lol... Unfortunately we have all been lied to at one point or another in our lives and every lyric in this song is what I see and feel through lies.

~“Not Ready”
Written, performed and produced by Bethany Sky
Backing vocals by Trevor Stark

This song is an indie rock song about the battles of being terminally ill or having someone close to you that is suffering from an illness. The strength you carry in your heart along with the brave face you provide your loved ones to keep them grounded shows in the purest of light how amazing you truly are. This song reflects on feeling all the little things that can sometimes be taken for granted in good health.

“The Road Home”
Written, performed and produced by Bethany Sky

The Road Home is an acoustic ballad, I wrote this song after I lost my Mother and drove away from my childhood home knowing I would never return again.

~“Water From Leaves”
Guitars: Chris A.K.A H2708
Bass guitar, vocals and lyrics: Bethany Sky

Water from Leaves is an all out alternative rocker! Chris, an amazing guitarist from Germany, sent me the riff to this song and I fell head over heals for it! This song is about my childhood and being terribly bullied, I spent most of my time hiding away in the woods up in the trees where I felt free to be me. I would stare at the clouds and make shapes and when it rained I would drink the water drops from the leaves. “Water from Leaves” is my metaphor for nourishment. Children need their dreams to be cultivated and nourished with love that helps build their inner strength. When a child is belittled and bullied something deep inside them stops growing and even dies. This can bring on a lifetime of emptiness and pain. Like the trees need water to grow and flourish, a child needs someone to believe in them to know they’re safe and loved.

~“You Are”
Electric guitars, first lead guitar, bass & backing vocals by Ramon Beiboer
Acoustic guitars & backing vocals by Trevor Stark
Main vocals & second lead guitar by Bethany Sky

You Are is a catchy indie rock song, one I get yelled at a lot for because people say: BETHANY I CAN’T GET THIS SONG OUT OF MY HEAD...LOL!!! My favorite saying is to “Believe In The Possibilities” and that is exactly what this song is all about. We all have to learn to give up all hope for a better yesterday and no matter what you have gone through in your life NEVER EVER stop believing that you are everything you fight for and everything you believe.

~”Release The Dove”
Written, performed and produced by Bethany Sky

Release the Dove is an acoustic melodic ballad about letting go of all the pain we can carry in us. I thought it was the perfect title and ending song for my EP because it is my way of saying that no matter what life has thrown at me, I will stay strong and let it go. This album ( my life’s diary ) was very healing and my way to finally releasing my dove.

Thank you so very much for your support and coming on this musical journey with me. I hope you will take comfort in knowing we are not alone and we can all overcome anything life throws our way xoxLOVExox

I have been creating art and music since I was about 7 years old. I don't really know if I can say it's some kind of escape from reality for me or if it's just a part of what makes me feel whole and alive. What I can say is that I am driven to create without boundaries. ... more
