Fracture (Left Behind) by Stahlkrieg - Zona

Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I don’t recognize my voice these days

It shakes like someone else's shame

Been dragging pieces of myself

Through places I won’t name

They said I’d heal with time and truth

But truth’s been silent since you left

And time just ticks like a loaded gun

Held steady to my chest

[Pre-Chorus]

I learned to smile with a shaking hand

To fake the strength I couldn’t stand

[Chorus]

I’m the fracture in your perfect frame

The part of you you couldn’t tame

The bruise you swore would fade with light

Still bleeding in the dead of night

You can’t erase what you pretend

I break so I don’t have to bend

[Verse 2]

There’s comfort in a darker room

Where no one sees me fall apart

Where silence doesn’t ask for proof

And shadows hold my heart

I screamed your name into the glass

Till my voice began to crack

But even echoes let me go

And you never once looked back

[Pre-Chorus]

I stitched myself with broken threads

Now I wear the things I never said

[Chorus]

I’m the fracture in your perfect frame

The part of you you couldn’t tame

The bruise you swore would fade with light

Still bleeding in the dead of night

You can’t erase what you pretend

I break so I don’t have to bend

[Verse 3 – Soft, Reflective]

Sometimes I wonder if you ever cared

Or if I was just a space to fill

'Cause I gave you all my fire

And you left me in the chill

Now I walk through conversations

Like a ghost still tied to chains

Smiling just enough to pass

While my soul still speaks in pain

[Bridge – Screamed first, then clean]

You wanted silence, now you’ve got it

I buried words you never wanted

I wore the chains you handed me

But I built the fire to set me free

(Sung, soaring)

I won’t be what you forgot

I won’t live in your regret

This pain is mine to carry

But you don’t own it yet

[Chorus – Reframed with Power]

I’m the fracture in your perfect frame

The storm you tried to lock in shame

Still screaming when the lights go down

Still bleeding just to feel the sound

You can’t define what you defend

I break so I don’t have to bend

[Final Chorus – Stripped Down Then Full Band]

(Soft)

I’m the fracture you left behind

In the silence you won’t find

(Loud)

And I still burn, I still remain

A voice inside your guilt and flame

You never cared how far I'd bend—

But I broke, and I won’t again

[Outro - Whispered]

This time…

I shatter on my terms.
