LEFT IN THE DIRT — STILL STANDING

Intro (dissonant hit, breath pull)

Built in the dark.

Finished in fire.

Verse I (low gutturals)

I grew up choking on my own thoughts

Depression stitched deep into bone

Every morning felt like a threat

Every night I survived alone

I learned pain before I learned peace

Learned rage before I learned rest

This wasn’t fate — this was endurance

A life spent proving I’m not dead yet

Pre-Chorus (rising snarl)

I am not the echo in my skull

I am the answer it never found

Chorus (massive, stomping)

I’VE BEEN AT WAR

SINCE DAY ONE

LEFT IN THE DIRT

BUT I’M NOT FUCKING DONE

THE DARK TRIED TO CLAIM ME

I TORE MY WAY FREE

I AM NOT THE WEIGHT

THAT TRIED TO BURY ME

Verse II (faster, violent cadence)

I turned the damage into discipline

Turned survival into teeth

You don’t crawl out of hell clean

You crawl out missing pieces

Every scar speaks fluent truth

Every breath is a middle finger

I don’t chase the light anymore

I MAKE IT WHEN I’M STANDING HERE

Pre-Chorus II

I stopped asking to be saved

I sharpened what tried to break

Chorus

I’VE BEEN AT WAR

SINCE DAY ONE

LEFT IN THE DIRT

BUT I’M NOT FUCKING DONE

THE DARK TRIED TO CLAIM ME

I TORE MY WAY FREE

I AM NOT THE WEIGHT

THAT TRIED TO BURY ME

BREAKDOWN (slow, disgusting, slam)

TRY

TO

DRAG

ME

BACK

YOU HAD YOUR TIME

YOU HAD YOUR CHANCE

I OUTLIVED EVERY FUCKING PLAN

(Silence hit)

STILL.

STANDING.

Bridge (atmospheric → scream)

I don’t deny where I came from

I just refuse to live there

The past can scream my name all night—

I WON’T FUCKING ANSWER

Final Chorus (anthem brutality)

I’VE BEEN AT WAR

SINCE DAY ONE

AND I EARNED EVERY STEP I’VE BECOME

THIS LIFE TRIED TO END ME

I TORE THROUGH THE LIE

I’M NOT LOOKING BACK—

I’M THE REASON I’M ALIVE

Outro (final chug)

Built in the dark.

Finished in fire.
