[Intro – whispered | reverb | distant radio static]
We give it all… they take it all…
Sign the line… now watch us fall…
---
[Verse 1 – gritty scream]
Another good man buried in a file, not a grave
Still breathing, but they threw him away
Med board stamped like a death decree
“Not fit to serve”—but he gave everything
Backs break, minds crack, hearts worn thin
They call it weakness—we call it war within
Held the line while they looked away
Now you’re a problem they won’t repay
---
[Pre-Chorus – rising tension | layered vocals]
We bleed in silence—no one hears the sound
Built to stand tall—now we’re breaking down
---
[Chorus – explosive | layered screams + gang vocals]
MED BOARDED AND BURIED—WE’RE CUT FIRST!
THROWN TO THE DIRT LIKE WE NEVER HAD WORTH!
USED—UNTIL THERE’S NOTHING LEFT!
WRITE US OFF LIKE A FAILED TEST!
I’M SCREAMING BUT NOBODY HEARS THIS PAIN!
JUST ANOTHER NAME IN A SYSTEM’S GAME!
WE GAVE OUR LIVES—NOW WE’RE DISMISSED!
MED BOARDED AND BURIED—FOR THIS?!
---
[Verse 2 – fast, aggressive]
Locked in a contract with a ticking clock
Health going down but the pressure won’t stop
They say “adapt”—but the body won’t bend
Fighting a war you can’t defend
Brothers and sisters stuck in the grind
Breaking their backs, losing their minds
No way forward, no way back
Just a slow collapse in a system trap
---
[Breakdown – UNHINGED | chaotic | call/response | distortion max]
CUT!—(CUT! CUT! CUT!)
CARVE IT OUT—WHAT’S LEFT OF ME?!
STAMPED!—(UNFIT! UNFIT!)
LABEL ME YOUR CASUALTY!
USED!—UP!—SPIT!—OUT!
SAY MY NAME THEN STRIKE IT OUT!
MED!—BOARDED!—BURIED!—ALIVE!
COUNT ME DEAD WHILE I SURVIVE!
---
[Glitch Section – stutter | fragmented | static bursts]
I—GAVE—YOU—EVERY—THING—
NOW YOU—ERASE—ME
NO!—PULSE!
NO!—NAME!
JUST!—NUMBERS!
IN!—FLAMES!
---
[Verse 3 – personal | raw tone shift]
I don’t even know if I’ll make it through
Or if “retirement” is a lie they use
And if I get there, will I feel whole?
Or just a ghost with a shattered soul?
I gave my youth, I gave my spine
Every ounce of this life of mine
Still standing here unsure
If I’ll survive what I signed up for
---
[Final Chorus – biggest | stacked vocals | slight tempo lift]
MED BOARDED AND BURIED—WE’RE CUT FIRST!
CHEWED UP, SPIT OUT—PROVE YOUR WORTH!
USED—UNTIL THERE’S NOTHING LEFT!
ANOTHER BROKEN BODY THEY FORGET!
I’M SCREAMING BUT NOBODY HEARS THIS PAIN!
JUST A NUMBER LOST IN THE CHAIN!
WE GAVE OUR LIVES—NOW WE’RE DISMISSED!
MED BOARDED AND BURIED—LIKE THIS?!
---
[Outro – slow | crushing | fading heartbeat + static]
DRAG ME UNDER—SIGN THE SHEET!
ANOTHER BODY—DEFEAT—DEFEAT!
MED… BOARDED…
(…silence…)
AND…
BURIED.
SilentPayload
