Burn What’s Left by Stahlkrieg - Zona

Lyrics

[Intro]

(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…)

[Verse 1]

(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

[Pre-Chorus]

(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

[Chorus]

(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

[Verse 2]

(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

[Pre-Chorus]

(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?

[Chorus]

(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

[Breakdown]

(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…

[Final Chorus]

(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.

[Outro]

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

I feel it still...

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