NO GRAVE HOLDS ME” by DeadButDreaming - Zona

Lyrics

[Intro – feedback, distant sirens, whispered growls]

Dig the hole…

I’ll crawl out screaming.

[Verse 1 – pure aggression]

I’ve been chewing on glass just to feel something real

Spine bent backwards, taught myself how to kneel

Every word you said was a fucking lie

Built this hell with my bare hands, now watch me survive

They fed me shame, dressed it up as love

Choked on my name, said I wasn’t enough

I carried the dead weight, I swallowed the blame

Now I’m done being quiet—I’m done being tame

[Pre-Chorus – low growl, half-time]

You want blood?

You got it.

I’ve been bleeding since birth.

[Chorus – crushing, shouted + screamed]

I’M DEAD BUT DREAMING

TEETH IN THE DIRT

CHEST STILL MOVING

MADE OF THE HURT

BURIED ALIVE

BUT I BITE THROUGH THE GROUND

YOU CAN’T KILL WHAT WAS

BORN TO DROWN

I’M DEAD BUT DREAMING

HEART FULL OF ROT

NO GRAVE HOLDS ME

I WON’T FUCKING STOP

[Verse 2 – faster, more chaotic]

Talk shit, hide hands, point fingers instead

Funny how you pray when you want me dead

You want a villain? I’ll wear it proud

Built from the screams you tried to drown out

I kept the fire when the lights went black

Ate every loss, never asked for it back

If suffering’s currency, I’m rich in scars

Still swinging fists at the face of God

[Pre-Chorus – shouted]

I was broken down

To the bone

Now I weaponized it

[Chorus – repeat, heavier instrumentation]

I’M DEAD BUT DREAMING

TEETH IN THE DIRT

CHEST STILL MOVING

MADE OF THE HURT

BURIED ALIVE

BUT I BITE THROUGH THE GROUND

YOU CAN’T KILL WHAT WAS

BORN TO DROWN

[BREAKDOWN – slow, disgusting, violent]

(EMPTY EVERYTHING)

KNEES IN THE MUD

TEETH FUCKING GRIT

I LEARNED HOW TO LIVE

BY EATING THE SHIT

YOU PUT ME IN THE GROUND

I LEARNED HOW TO GROW

FROM A FUCKING GRAVE

WATCH ME FUCKING GO

NO—

GRAVE—

HOLDS—

ME.

[Beat drops even lower]

DIG

DEEPER

[Bridge – eerie clean vocal, then explode]

I don’t need saving

I don’t need light

I made a home

In the endless night

(beat pause)

[Final Chorus – all vocals layered, apocalyptic]

I’M DEAD BUT DREAMING

STILL HERE, STILL ME

BUILT FROM PAIN

AND FUCKING DEFEAT

YOU CAN PRAY FOR MY FALL

CARVE MY NAME IN STONE

I DIED INSIDE—

NOW LEAVE ME ALONE

[Final Breakdown / Outro]

Dead…

But breathing.

Dreaming…

Through the violence.
