the timing of this song, are you guys stalking me?

[@DasHeino2010]

Living on the edge and considering to end it multiple times feels like blood on my hands. Being with my Parents and thinking how they would suffer from that... feels like I have their blood on my hands too. Can you make a Song about that?

[@taylorconnolly]

​@DasHeino2010 I second this comment its truly relatable

[@BrittanyArtPoetry]

I hope you guys are all okay

[@scottmadsen9964]

Thank you Citizen Soldier... my sister passed away a year ago. I'm holding on for my mom because I know if I don't she will be devastated and it will cause a chain...

Without fail, you make a song your community can relate to. This is a prime example.

[@RustyDestroyer]

Nope I'm done fighting for myself so ill fight for others and if I die then so be it

[@miraiyasuda]

@@RustyDestroyer I don’t know how old you are my friend. But I did the same things, not many years ago. First it works, you’ll receive a good feeling, by sacrificing yourself for others.. but it turns out bad for you at the end. Your sacrifices will be unwelcome, it will destroy you more inside, than you could thought. You can’t heal yourself, when you’re only healing other people’s wounds. Walk that path, until you recognise its end. Make peace with the past, find other ways.. find someone that can fix you.. it’s absolutely hard to wait for that moment. Took me 24 years, but I never doubted.. there could be something. You got only one life my friend, continue to find the reason. And as long as you breath.. don’t give up on giving your best. Even tho nobody sees it, take it with you. I wish you the best.

[@user-qp8wo3ko9k]

"Everyone has a breaking point, guess I'll find mine" Damn, that made me get chills

I know this will be buried but i think i should say the reason im still here is because of the people I love. I dont wnat to leave them alone to pick up my mess. I dont want to pass on my pain. As long as they live so will I. Thank you for making the songs that can be relateable. You guys make songs that need to be heard

[@OverdramaticAngel]

That's exactly how I feel too.

[@Ember818]

[@E.j.Robinson]

Yes, the picturing them alone with my ghost line gets me. I had another episode tonight and finally broke down and said that I felt like I could cut my throat in front the one I love and they would not notice or care and he adamitly said he didn't want that and most definitely would notice and care regardless of his health issues. Due to his stuff I've been holding that back for years. It's a weight off like nothing I can explain to know otherwise.

[@ChapoAilurophile]

As someone dealing with depression and who made a commitment to keep on living for my grandma this song hits exceptionally hard Thanks Citizen Soldier for expressing my thoughts in this beautiful song ❤

[@alexz3585]

I wasn't able to escape it for my grandma, but in the beginning she was the reason I stayed alive, she stopped my suicide a little over a year and a half ago, after countless therapy sessions I'm happy today, stay strong, it's worth it in the end

You should check out Silent Theory. Have a nice sound and imo have some of the strongest lyrics in music right now.

[@stanito70]

@@RenewedAuroraI checked them. Not bad as a recommendation, but it's just not my cup of tea. Like I don't really see the harmony that citizen soldier have with lyrics and melody. I just can't feel them like a family, unlike this band here.

I don't know your situation or anything, but I am holding you up in prayer. You aren't alone. Thankful this excellent song found its way to you when it did.

"Haunted by thoughts of the ones I love most, I picture them living alone with my ghost" & "Does it ever get better?

I feel you there I had to do the same but I also had to fight my abusive stepfather and make sure my siblings were well fed and bathed and also had to make sure to keep my grades up and make sure they were also getting good grades and I’m 14 years old now😔

[@jessekerr1511]

Keep your heads up kids. I can tell you from personal experience it's the hardest thing to do in life. At 14 years old: My step-dad was in jail for 1Yr. My mom shut down and cried. I became the man of the house, without being asked, with 4 younger siblings. My grandfather passed on my birthday. I broke my back... My parents deny my claims of how bad it actually was sometimes. God sends his hardest battles to his strongest warriors. Keep your head held high, stay put of trouble and make the best of the situation you've been put in. NEVER fear asking for help, I'm now 29 and deathly afraid to be a burden, because I was conditioned to think "men need to suck it up" it's a load of BS! STAY STRONG! ❤❤❤

[@InsanityVirus]

You give a voice to those who don't know how to speak about our struggles and demons. You make us feel heard, loved, and not alone in this fight. For that, you should be proud! Beautiful song as always, and thank you for bringing us all together and helping us!

[@olm8829]

I feel exactly like you. I am still here only because of my parents and my best friend. This song reminds me of the fact, that there are still some people who need me and who would be hit badly if I’d end it all, and “Suicide” by Ren tells, how exactly they would feel, I am holding on because I don’t want them to feel like this.

[@invisibledreamsmusiccentra4063]

I'm the oldest of five siblings, and sometimes when I hide my emotions, I know that its hard. But I do it for them, and for that, its worth it

[@SweetBrotato]

You're a hell of a brother or sister. You carry more then anyone should have on their backs, but look at you go. Much love!

[@NightmareKhaos]

The question that remains though is, if you can’t be strong for yourself because of the struggle of what’s going on inside your head, then how can you be strong for somebody else?

[@MrDarkfang]

I can only speak for myself, but I don't matter. When it comes to making sure those I care about are okay, that's my focus. My purpose. If I'm not okay, that's fine. As long as they are okay, that's what matters. Not me.

[@NightmareKhaos]

I see and agree@@MrDarkfang

[@justingiordano62]

It's the same as being able to love someone without loving yourself, pure unadulterated selflessness. You hate yourself so much, but don't want to cause any suffering so you continue to exist in a personal hell, just to see the person you love smile and be happy until the day you die, knowing you made a difference

When somebody has experienced depression or addiction it’s easier to communicate with them vs someone who thinks reading a book answers the question and the think their way is right ITS NOT RIGHT & IT DONE DONT, went to nursing school and I threw the book out the window nothing I learned from the book conformed to the daily routine of taking care of someone’s life.

Lyrics: I've played out the scene so much in my head I have to wake up but I'd rather be dead Haunted by thoughts of the ones I love most I picture them living alone with my ghost Kill the pain and kill the family Choke the dark down, just be happy Talk myself off of this ledge I know all too well My personal hell, I'll bury it, bury it Weight of the world, I'll carry it, carry it Pile it all on, I've gotta be strong For somebody, for somebody Put my pain in a pill, I'll swallow it, swallow it Too numb to feel, I'm hollow, I'm hollow I have to hold on, I've gotta be strong For somebody, for somebody Somebody else This voice in my head, it wants me to choose Die selfish or live with my head in a noose Does it ever get better, is this worth the fight? Everyone has a breaking point, guess we'll find mine Kill the body, not the memory Wouldn't blame 'em, they'd resent me Kind of scares me what it takes to just save myself My personal hell, I'll bury it, bury it Weight of the world, I'll carry it, carry it Pile it all on, I've gotta be strong For somebody, for somebody Put my pain in a pill, I'll swallow it, swallow it Too numb to feel, I'm hollow, I'm hollow I have to hold on, I've gotta be strong For somebody, for somebody Somebody else Somebody else My personal hell, I'll bury it, bury it Weight of the world, I'll carry it, carry it Pile it all on, I've gotta be strong For somebody, for somebody Put my pain in a pill, I'll swallow it, swallow it Too numb to feel, I'm hollow, I'm hollow I have to hold on, I've gotta be strong For somebody, for somebody Somebody else For somebody, for somebody Somebody else For somebody, for somebody Somebody else

[@user-kp2ts9vh8d]

I’m a teenager and live with both my parents and sibling. My dad has always had a drinking problem and is often intoxicated when upset. My younger sibling, who has grown up with this, gets increased anxiety and almost panic attacks when this happens. Because of this I always make sure to be there for him as the older sibling. I tend to keep my feelings on our situation under wraps due to this and I don’t want to give him more to worry about. I’ve been listening to your music for several years now and it voices the things I always feel but can never say. Thank you, and never stop.

Thank you for being a voice to those of us who feel silenced or can't speak what we are feeling.

[@saraoverkamping8143]

You must be so full of love and pride for your precious son, but of course you carry a heavy burden every day and it is not getting any less consuming when you keep it all by yourself. I am 19 today, so I won't tell you what to do. My age gives me no right to act like I could relate to your situation. But my experience on the other hand might show you that you are not alone. I jumped off a bridge near my school when I was 17 years old. Cause I did the same thing like you, bottled it up and acted happy for my parents and grandparents. No matter what I did, I was always tired and had no joy in doing it, but always kept the facade. And that facade, it was my doome. To the day I jumped noone knew how I was feeling. I could not move my legs or my arms at first, my feet were crushed like broken eggs. But it all came back eventually after six surgeries in total. And now I made it out of the wheelchair and graduated and go my way. I remember what it feels to want to give up and I'd be lying if I said I am healed, I don't have this thoughts anymore, that is just not true. But you seem like a very very special and selfless and couregous woman and I just want you to get the support you deserve. So, have you ever talked about your feelings with your parents? Or a therapist? Both can be very helpful in examing your feelings and learn ways how to cope with the darkest ones. I never wanted help before and I paid a high prize to notice, that I needed it. I just hope you realize sooner how much you are worth it. Sorry for the essay, but a woman like you deserves every good word directed to her.

This is how i dealt with my dad, my grandpa and my best friends funerals all within 2 months of eachother. I didnt have time to feel my emotions, i didnt cry, i had to be there for mom, sister and everyone else who needed me. I now feel the repercussions of doing that as im fighting many battles. Great song to relate to to push through

[@BillyWillyButcherBollocks]

I found citizen soldier at the right time. I’m 25 and had to deal with my dads dementia for over 4. Now he’s dying in hospital, my mum practically gave up her whole life 2 years ago to take care of him leaving me the only one with a job. I’ll cry when he finally passes and I’m doing all I can to stay strong for them but it all gets too much sometimes, the pressure being the man of the house and coming to terms with the fact the life I once knew is gone. Not like my life was sunshine and rainbows beforehand going through abusive relationships and losing nearly everything to covid. Jake sings for us who suffer in silence, who feel uncared and unloved

[@darlenestanhouse2452]

I've finally healed from my trauma but damn if this wasn't my life before I had the strength, courage and know how to face that trauma.

[@pyrokyu83]

Right when I think Im alone, they release a song of exactly how I feel . You know it hits you cause the tears dont stop, but if your feeling like this I encourage you to seek pro help. It might be me today but tomorrow it might be any of us, and Im sure your not alone. To you who reads my comment your special and unique. Shine bright and show the nay sayers you also got it within you.

[@orrinhoward]

Again, you are way ahead of anyone else who try connecting with their people. KoЯn, Disturbed, Breaking Benjamin etc. all have done very well in this aspect. The exactness of your lyrics/message and the band’s precision is second to none. I only wish I could be a guest bassist.❤ Thank you for all you do.

[@Strangerequestrian5938]

Every time they come out with a new song I always think there’s no way that this can be better than the last one and they always prove me wrong!!!Your music always touches my heart!! Much love ❤

[@SweetBrotato]

I been in a dark place fkr for quite a while, my 5 kids are what's kept me getting up everyday and going on." Weight of the world... I'll carry it." I know i got to be strong for somebody else.... Happy Father's Day to my fellow dads carrying ot all on their backs. 😢

[@SSGPunish]

I’ve had this song on repeat for almost 2 hours now, an absolute Masterpiece with every note/lyric hitting in so many ways 👏👏

[@joeldesrosiers4782]

Thank you lord for this masterpiece......and Thank you guys for delivering legit perfection again and again....having SA trauma from my youth that still comes up every now and then...having to take the brunt of it so no one else would feel any pain...I needed this....needed something that speaks to me so perfectly.....thank you....❤️‍🩹

[@mystiangel96]

The throwbacks to past songs (ex. Just Be Happy), "Kind of scares me - What it takes to just save myself" ❤️ I wrote a short essay several years ago, from the POV of my ghost after intentionally dying...this song reminds me of that and really speaks to what I've been going through lately 🎶 Much love! ❤️

[@CitizenSoldier]

Appreciate you 🫶

[@Embersofthedark]

"Everyone has a breaking point, guess we'll find mine." My favorite line due to how relatable it is wont say how or why its just very, very relatable

[@Tairaa91]

Dont think ive ever heard a line that hit as hard as that

[@Embersofthedark]

@@Tairaa91 yup

[@solar5406]

Listening to this right after a relapse and breaking off a friendship with my best friend... this is gonna be a rough night... but Citizen Soldier always helps. Thank you guys. Truly.

[@atomicmegalodon1413]

Another heavy hitting masterpiece, thank you❤

[@CitizenSoldier]

Glad to hear that 🫶

[@supergamehunter0539]

I'VE BEEN WAITING SO LONG FOR THIS TO DROP! And it's so much better than I imagined, I can't express how happy I am that I found you guys years ago!

[@lucettaalexander]

This song shattered my expectations. How do you guys make such relatable songs every time? Can’t wait for the rest of the album! ❤

[@lucyromero6654]

This song takes me to a place where i was given the gift of desperation. Sometimes you dont realize just how severe your trauma is, you practically desensitize yourself with how often you speak on it with a therapist or counselor..it almost feels like youre telling someone elses story. By the grace of God i have 5 months sober today. Incomprehensible demoralization is a real thing. Thank you citizen soldier.

[@ZekeAndroid49]

You guys hit it out of the park with this one. Well done!

[@CitizenSoldier]

Well thanks 🫶

[@venomusviper1449]

absolutely crazy hard hitting Lyrics. I feel like everyone can relate to this kind of situation in one way or another. This is why Citizen Soldier is an absolutely heart warming yet heavy hitting band which is amazing! Rock on everyone and For thoes of you who struggle. Stay strong, you are NEVER alone.

[@fairyheaven7666]

This is weird, but I remember hearing this song in one of my dreams and I was singing along with it in my head all week, and it’s an actual song that came out a day ago…weirddddd

[@user-ru3me8dq5m]

My partner is a huge fan. She says this is by far her most relatable song you’ve released! She was severely abused by her so called mother and her mother’s boyfriends. Her mum let her older sisters abuse her too. She now suffers with CPTSD (complex post traumatic stress disorder) and BPD/EUPD (borderline personality disorder formally known and emotionally unstable personality disorder ) She says all the time that she is suicidal but she t want to die. To me that is showing her strength to carry on through her hell in her head

[@arcadia8936]

Another amazing song!! Just when I think that you guys are already the best band I’ve ever heard, you go and show that you’re even better than I could’ve ever hoped for. Your lyrics are impressive and impactful as always, and I can’t wait to listen to this song on loop for weeks to come. Thank you for all that you do 💚💚💚💚💚

[@avadonsmith1408]

I knew ICU was gonna be an Album that hit a lot of people close to home and THIS was the song I knew would be one of IF not my personal favourite You've touched so many people's lives with your music and I just want to say Thank you Thank you for giving so many of us the strength to keep fighting one more day at a time

[@lmoser9465]

Yes!!! Exactly 💯...I have 6 kids ! This song ..the words outta my mouth! Love it❤ Another one for my collection 😊

[@tylerbromagen8888]

As a dad of 6, husband to 1, i stuggle with it daily, thank you guys. So damn much for this song. Much love from kentucky

[@HauintedWillow]

This really hits home....I am the oldest, so my mom taught me I had to always be strong. I had to always hide pain or emotions...I had to be the strong one for everyone else no matter what..... My grandma died who was my second mom, I wasn't allowed to cry. I had to be the shoulder for everyone else to cry one... My mom passed in 2012 and I am still fighting it. I am still fighting to truly show sadness....Her words still echo in my head. I am just hopeful I taught my kids it's ok and good to cry or show emotions....

[@adammontgomery3713]

I know how you feel I the oldest I'm the only one that has my mom's Back the only one she can Rely on I can't let her down I refuse to let her down she's a single mom of four and she will do anything for her children I have to be strong for her I refuse to show sadness not to be a burden she has to much on her plate.

[@charathedemon5939]

I remember commenting something similar to the title. Thank you for reading my comment and making this song. *Stay determined for your loved ones.*

[@AngelEyezWilson]

Wow.. talk myself off of this ledge I know so well.. the weight of the world... put my pain in a pill.. hits hard.. Thank you for this.. for all of us fighting our battles.. nice to know we're not alone..

[@Sess-vf9xo]

As someone who struggles with self-hatred and constant depression due to the way i grew up and what i went through in the military, this song just accurately says the words i can't bring myself to say. At one point, a therapist asked me how i cope with depression and i judt pulled this up on my phone, and even they teared up. Thank you, Citizen Soldier, for giving us a song that personally gave me the strength and a reason to keep going. You guys will never know how much this exact song saved me from myself. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

[@alexrmusics]

Suas músicas chegam em locais que jamais imaginaram! Simplesmente obrigado por existirem e trazer em forma de melodia um motivo para nos mantermos fortes e vivos.

[@Vici0usKill3r16]

This song explains how I am. And for the longest time I felt like I was alone feeling like that, I was always told that it's impossible to care about others when you don't care for yourself. That being strong for somebody else isn't how it works. Even therapists said that. Thank you for this amazing song and all the others y'all have put out. I'm hoping to see a concert one day

[@matthewgibson4309]

The reason citizen soldier's music speaks and helps us to heal is because unlike most instead of say he understands and everything will be fine, is that he gives the description of what we are feeling and this is an outlet and a way for us to tell loved ones exactly what we are going through without words

[@mrgibbons9995]

As always.. thank you Citizen Soldier for putting words to feelings that sometimes just can't be vocalised. ❤

[@gemworld_ruler5477]

I’ve been so looking forward to this! It’s not like I planned my breaks at work around the song release today… 👀

[@CitizenSoldier]

It's finally here 🫶

[@pluviasalutor1290]

My somebody else was my grandmother. She passed away in June and it's been hard to keep things going. I'm happy to have a song that encapsulates how I've felt. I've been looking forward to this full song ever since I heard the clip on tiktok. Great Job.

[@kawaiikittkatt1432]

Going through some rough patches and a first time mom with depression. Just found this song and it expresses how I'm feeling. Love the song. Keep up with the wonderful music and helping people express themselves.

[@mishterbean5292]

Firstly... I will never stop appreciating the work you guys put into all of the songs and messages you gift to us, a world who needs exactly what you have to offer: words to live for, hope made song, life made musical. Secondly, to anyone reading this who may be having a bad day or a rough patch in life: stay strong, stay hopeful, and keep up your fight. We, the Citizens, will stand with you. I, the poster, believe in you and your capability to find happiness. we are never truly alone, and in the words of my favorite book... "we are only as strong as we are united, and as weak as we are divided." You, the reader, are cherished and important, and you have more meaning than you'll ever know. Be safe, and hold on to those you love.

[@LordSrom]

MY GOD I litterally shivered at the beginning of the song. I don't know if you did anything different on the mixing or post processing idk the words or anything but the way your voice came in the song is absolutely gorgeous, I freaking love how your voice sounds in this song

[@liveforthefallen1791]

Always making music that reaches the soul, another song to add to my favorites

[@CitizenSoldier]

[@Farkle_8000]

I will forever be happy that you guys are making music with the messages they do The messages, the songs, and just the band as a whole is amazing and I hope you guys never stop doing what you're doing because I'm positive you guys are saving and helping people

[@SabastianU]

It's not often that a song leaves me speechless, but just wow. Thank you for finding the strength to give voice to something so many others suffer through in silence.

[@jankolanowski206]

CITIZEN SOLDIER WE LOVE YOU! ANOTHER MIRACLE OF A SONG!!! ❤❤

[@SpectreXeno]

You guys be reading my mind with every song! Lately I’ve had no motivation or anything to look forward to but to just stay strong for my family 🥲💙

[@austinfrengtravel]

As someone who lives with social anxiety this song right now hits home for me so many different ways. I cannot thank you enough for putting out music that resonates with so many of us.

[@sammiesinister2757]

This song more then explains exactly what I'm struggling with...always had depression but these past couple months have been the absolute hardest I've dealt with....I have no true safe space for myself...but for my son I stand up barely stable but for him I can't stop trying...this song hits so hard....

[@sink_amvs]

Fantastic song 🔥🤘

[@walkergentry]

Thank you so much. I really needed this today. Some people might think it’s weird to need to hear about someone hurting, but it’s a connection that you do within your music. This is how I feel all the time since I lost my daughter. Thank you for making me feel less alone.

[@draconiffus]

FEEL every word so deep within myself... till tears! Thank you for being ALIVE and showind the fight within. I'm not alone!
