Burn What’s Left

(Soft keys and ambient pads. Vocals are hushed and reflective.)

I don’t remember who I was

Only pieces buried in dust

I trace my name in broken glass

But it never lasts…

(It never lasts…)

(Steady clean guitar riff, drums low. Vocals are soft but building tension.)

Tried to run, but the shadows stay

Every step just fades away

I scream, but the sound bends back

Like I’m stuck in a heart attack

You lit the fire and walked away

Now I burn just to feel okay

I learned to lie with quiet grace

But it’s written all over my face

(Building up, drums begin to rise. Vocals more strained.)

If I break, will you notice me?

Or am I lost too far beneath?

I’m drowning slow in all your doubt

So watch me now

(Full instrumental hit. Power vocals with harmonies.)

I’m gonna burn what’s left

Let it rise from the wreck

Ashes fall like confessions

That I never said

You wanted silence, now choke on the sound

Of the flames pulling everything down

I’m done pretending

This pain’s not real

I feel it

I feel it still

(Riff driven, tension maintained. Vocals controlled, simmering anger.)

Fell asleep with the static on

Your voice fades but the damage’s strong

You stitched my soul with fear and thread

Now I wear the weight instead

Told me scars were just the past

But mine speak louder than that

I count the nights I didn’t scream

Just to hold onto a dream

(Vocals more emotional. Heavier drum fill into chorus.)

If I break, will you still care?

Or leave me bleeding in mid-air?

No parachute, no light, no sound

But I’m still here—

Can you hear me now?

(Repeat chorus, but bigger. Add more layered harmonies and backing screams.)

I’m gonna burn what’s left

Let it rise from the wreck

Ashes fall like confessions

That I never said

You wanted silence, now choke on the sound

Of the flames pulling everything down

I’m done pretending

This pain’s not real

I feel it

I feel it still

(Drop everything but rhythm guitar and aggressive drums. Screamed vocals.)

You never saw what you did to me!

I bled it out so perfectly!

Tried to heal, but you buried it deep!

Now I burn, I burn, and I won’t retreat!

(Pause – everything cuts out except a heartbeat bass or low pulse.)

(Whispered, emotionally exhausted.)

This is the last time…

I light this match…

(Start with soft piano and solo vocal. Build slowly into full re-entry.)

I’m gonna burn what’s left

Let it rise from the wreck

Ashes fall like confessions

That I never said

You wanted silence, now choke on the sound

Of the flames pulling everything down

I’m done pretending

This pain’s not real

I feel it…

I feel it still.

(Fades out with ambient synths, distant guitar echoes.)

I feel it still...

And maybe that’s the proof I’m alive...
