"Fake it till you make it" "Just smile more." "Have you tried being happy?" "You're looking for reasons to be sad." "It's all in your head." "Why do you have to be so melodramatic?" Words I've heard over and over ad nauseum...

_“ I live with monsters everyday, you’d kill yourself to escape; But you don’t want the truth, you want me to pretend it away.”_ That hit harder for me than any line in your songs have in a couple of months and every single one of them hits hard and seems to understand how I feel better than any person ever does. This whole song was amazing and I couldn’t find flaws in it; but that line was just pure perfection.

I used to tell therapist I've had in the past that with all the pain i feel every day its a miracle I'm still alive. All the ones I've had thus far have never taken those words seriously, all because I have too many goals and aspirations to be suicidal. I'm willing to bet its one of the biggest reasons therapy has yet to work for me. So yeah I couldn't agree more. That line hits the hardest.

Some students have told me that I wasn't bullied back in elementary school... They weren't there so how do they know that I was or wasn't... They said that I was faking being bullied before so that people would feel sorry and so people would more likely want to be my friend... They didn't see when I was bullied for 4 years, they weren't there... I came home everyday wishing to be a elementary school drop out or to just not be here anymore. The bullying was so bad that I'd pretend to be sick some days so I could stay home. There's even times where I tried to get sick so that I'd miss a day of school without having to fake it. There were times I just wanted to disappear... I never tried to hurt myself or kill myself because it'd only show that I was hurting.... I hid the pain from others because if I brought home what I felt at school I would feel as though home wasn't really the same safe place I knew... I'd feel so alone if I brought it home so I bottled it up and told no one after a while... My mom knew and couldn't do anything... Everyone knew... Eventually I found a escape.. On the last year of elementary school (4th grade) I found a dog who was neglected by his previous owners. He ran away looking for help. I saved him and got him a better life, a better home, a friend who wouldn't give up on him no matter what.... Finding my dog was the best thing in my life... He listened when no one else would.. He made me smile when I thought I couldn't... He gave me hope... After 4th grade the bullying stopped... I was happy.. It's been more than 7 years since then and I don't tell anyone that I used to be bullied anymore because they'd tell me that it's not true... I've changed so much since then... People just can't see me as someone who would be bullied at any point... (Btw my dog died in 2019 due to old age in his sleep, he's the reason why I want to live my life. I had him for almost 7 full years. I also have not been bullied since I was in elementary school.)

In all simplicity, you just, all the time, find the words thousands people can't express, and put millions of hidden and buried feelings into your lyrics. And I'm sure all of those that relate to them are grateful for that.

I let slip that I have depression to some people at Church, and then they proceeded to tell me to pray about it and to wait before starting the antidepressants I was prescribed because Jesus is the Great Physician. They posited that I was just going through a rough patch. Yeah, rough patch that’s lasted 4 years. They don’t understand what its like in my head, and they wouldn’t last a day.

Man, the number of times I've had the ''just get over it'' or ''just be happy'' thing from people who have absolutely ZERO idea is ridiculous. They simply don't understand that constant struggle. You may look ok on the outside, but, inside it's fucking world war 3!! But, you try to explain it to people and they make you feel like you're crazy and stupid and weak. But what they don't understand is the strength it takes to keep on fighting. Because it's not just one day....you are fighting all day, everyday for (in my experience) years and years! Anyone who is struggling, I feel you. You DO matter and you ARE worth it! Keep on pushing and don't let the fuckers get you down! A friend recommended these guys to me. So glad he did!!

I lost my big brother, my only sibling, in January 2022…..I found this group on TikTok of all places a few months ago and so far there is a vast majority of their songs that speak to my soul and the pain that I’m living with! I especially feel “I am not ok.”

I'm crying- right now I was listening to songs in not a good time for me, and the moment I received the notification of the new song it was like 'this is what I need now', his songs always manage to make me emotional, and they are what that I always need and help me too much, even if it's stupid, thanks for so many perfect songs ♡♡♡

I love all of your music, CS. Honestly, most of these songs I can't sing all the way through without breaking down. Crying is so hard to get me to do anymore, whenever I need to I go to your music. You've helped so many people, so many more than you realize. I hope you are all proud and doing well, you're doing amazing and I love you.

I love how deeply your songs represent the real struggles of mental illness, especially the feelings of the youth. The genre of music isn’t of I’d normally listen too but your songs have helped me through so many rough nights were all I wanted to do was cry, which I would listening to these songs but it would be tears I understood, that I could label and resonate with. Thank you so much for the work you do and the sound you make. They always see to come out when I need them most.

Every day. Everyone merely leaves their two cents and they expect me to survive on that. No one ever really sat with me and attempted to understand the darkness in my head. All that I can truly do is fake a smile and wear it as a permanently stitched mask upon my face. Thank you for another marvelous song.

Thank you for all your amazing music. It always helps me to fight my demons and feel more comfortable because I am not the only one who just can't take it all as easy as others. There are reasons for cutting your skin and you don't it because you want someone to see it. That is something nearly none other person believes me. They just tell me "just stop doing it". So "just be happy" isn't far away from that and so I really understand the lyrics.. I LOVE THE SONG

Ok, but the line "You don't want the truth, you want me to pretend it away" was just so beautiful in such a raw way. I hate that it's so relatable, but it is and for so many people. My entire life has been spiraling out of control, but I can't tell anyone because I'd get the "You're a teenager, life is tough" treatment. But I feel like I have no control of my life and I hate it, I hate feeling useless like this. You're music always seems to come at the right time, so thank you.

Another amazing song! I love it! And apparently so do thousands of other people, your band is amazing. Your music has saved me I relate to this song a lot because it seems like nobody in my family takes my mental health seriously, until it hits them in the face when I hurt myself, but then they're just disappointed, as if they will never understand, and think of me as a burden, they just want me to hide my scars and pretend everything's alright when it's not. They makes me feel crazy when I talk about my trauma, the abuse, everything, they don't let me talk about my scars or the trauma, or even really cope, they just want to bury the entire fact I'm mentally ill, and won't even acknowledge that I, in fact, have severe trauma, and they won't get me help, I haven't been to a therapist or anything of the sort after my family found out I told my past therapist my trauma, that was a few years ago, they said it was be better for me, because the therapist was "blaming me" (She wasn't), I've tried suicide, multiple times, but each time, I don't get help, I get blamed, and even when I directly ask for help, I don't get it. I am terrified the next I lose control and try suicide, I won't wake up. But it still doesn't matter, they say they'll get me help, but it's been years, and I still haven't gotten even closer to getting help, mental help

Just yesterday, I got diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder, after ten years of forcing myself to be happy and an infinite well who would do anything and give anything of myself in order for people to praise me as "promising" or "strong" or "a good provider." I've carried people trying to lift them up for so long, and when I faltered I've always heard "Don't stop now," "Stop being so negative," "You're blowing this out of proportion," "Just be happy." And so I forced myself to be strong and happy until I shattered. Now I'm hurt so bad I may never be able to do most "normal" things again, but I'm finally, finally shrugging off the denial of my scars and treating them. This song makes me feel so comforted and seen and heard. All of your songs do. Thank you so much for the blessing of your art, it helps me heal.

Can't recount the amount of times I've heard people say "just be positive" or "just be happy", as if insinuating that being bright and positive while ignoring the reality of your situation. Just because you made it look bright on the outside, doesn't mean you got rid of the pitch-black inside, you only made it fester and grow.
