I've been free of SH for two years now (sep 23, 2024 will be three years) and everytime I feel the darkness starting to creep in again I blast every song I know by them and just sing my heart out to them while I'm crying so hard that everything looks blurry. I have other songs I listen too that also help me; but this is the first time I've actually found a band who's songs are nothing but telling people that no matter what they're going through they are loved and enough and no matter what the voices say deserve to be alive. Thank you so much Citizen Soldier, not just for helping me, but for helping anyone and everyone who is blessed enough to be able to hear your songs❤❤

[@PoetTornado2022]

You are an amazing person for having stopped SH - I wish I could stop, but unfortunately SH is my only anchor in a world where I feel like I lose control. Pain is the only thing I feel like I can actually control.

[@kat7135]

@PoetTornado2022 I completely understand that, I use to SH just to be able to feel something from how numb I was back then. But since I've met my BF he's helped me through so much and I'm incredibly grateful for him. And I know it may not feel like it at times, but I do promise that it does get better. I may not know you or your story, but I can tell you that you are 100% worth it, loved, cared for and I'm rooting for you 😊❤️

That quote is very true there are many out there who even in their youth get stuck in that terrible place in your mind that u feel will never ever end. People out there go through a lot feeling deppressed, trapped, unloved, unwanted, or even suicidal. Just that never ending cycle can tear someone to peices. Some people even just bottle things up and isolate themselves from socializing, doing daily regular things, feeling hopeless or no modivation to do anything, or even taking care of yourself. It is hard especially when u isolate yourself to a device like a computer, or phone to listen to songs that make u actually feel as if you're not alone.. And it's also very hard when family members put u off as lazy, ungreatful, selfish, or some kind of horrible name just because u are deeply depressed and no one helps.. I hope someone reads this and actually understands these things.. It hurts me to think the world has just gone cold. No one cares about your feelings or just assumes u are lazy, rude, or just plain fine when u need help most. Even if u try your best some find it not good enough and push u to do more. Or the never ending expectations from parents, or family members that digs u even deeper into the terrible emotions u feel. Especially when u actually try to talk to a loved one and they just say "You're just being dramatic." Or "U always have something wrong." But yet once u tell them "I'm suicidal" They finally listen after so long. But then still just don't understand.. And that's fine it's just if u weren't in that situation and someones trying to vent about their feelings u can't judge them! Or whoever u try and vent to (like a loved one) and they just put u down for it or make u feel as if you're a failure that doesn't belong.. And some people struggle with this and even no matter how hard they try still nothing changes.. Sometimes when people vent they tell their situations and then it seems as it finally went through once someone says " I've been through it too." And just as u get your hopes up they crush it all over again by doing the same awful things to u and not ever hearing u out.. Then u end up in therapy.. If no one else will care to listen nor put it to heart you're trying to explain yourself but it doesn't change.. But after a while it will. U just have to have hope and build your confidence! U can't sit there and let someone treat u bad or judge u for the situations others put u in. I've learned instead of sitting and letting people put u down u need to stand up and tell them u are human too!!! U ARE HUMAN TOO!! And no matter if they like it or not they can't control u nor tell u how to feel. It's just not worth all the pain not fighting back for yourself. And you may be wondering how I understand this.. But beleive it or not that was all I was put through and through my 12 years of living I've related to all Citizen Soldiers music and I will get past deppression soon! I'll remember this subject and take to heart for as long as I live!!! 😆💖

I'm probably one of your "older fans" at 52. I found you all about three months ago. I CANNOT get enough of your music! Life is hard and your songs make me feel like I can still go on and there is still healing for me..❤️ You all have a gift with your music. PLEASE, PLEASE, don't let ANYTHING stop you from continuing your music and work..

[@xenotriver]

This is just so nice to listen to, especially right now... I might not relate to it myself, but the pain my friends have shared with me is real in this song. It's also so so nice to just listen to Jake sing like this once more

[@zuzanapolanska9941]

This is really beautiful song. It made me cry, because it cuts so deep, however, it feels still positive and it´s real masterpiece. Thank you. For being there and for every song.

[@CitizenSoldier]

Glad the music helps Zuzana 🧡

[@sagekinsella1770]

As a kid who’s in that place, this song made me very emotional. Thank you

[@ao_golden_ao7627]

Listening to this for the first time, I started crying. My best friend sent me it and said it reminded him of me.. This song hits so close to home and honestly made me realize that the scars left over aren't something for me to be ashamed of but a story that shows that I've made it so far. They're my proof that I survived my bad days..

[@Valerie_Moon]

i still go through this cause i have clinical depression. so ty @CitizenSoldier for this. it helps me know im not alone in this.

[@samblankers]

This song really gives me hope and confidence to just be myself, I can resonate with it a lot. Thank you for making this amazing song guys 💜

[@CitizenSoldier]

Appreciate you Sam 🧡

[@kennyB0990]

What a beautiful song. I have had multiple ex's be very reluctant to show themselves, due to this. None of you should be worried, the most beautiful thing, is that you're here for us to see these scars. You've stayed strong, keep staying strong. Maybe I didn't have physical scars, but I put myself through hell in ways as well. Just keep fighting, someone gives a shit about you, someone notices you, someone needs you.

[@mariedooset9232]

This whole song hit me so damn hard. This has to be one of my favorites by y'all.

[@CitizenSoldier]

Glad to hear that Marie 🧡

[@marydeebutters6999]

I'm 11 years old with parents that are divorced and I cut my wrist and I felt so ashamed of myself for cutting. Then I heard this song and I feel proud about my scars I wear them like tattoos. the music helps a lot. THANK YOU

[@Mingisleftpinkytoe]

I really used to hate my scars so much cause my mom kept repeating that they’re bad. But this song made me love every single one of them because it’s true, my scars are what make me, me. And your scars are what make you, you. Now I look at them differently cause they make me who I am now and they tell all the hardships that came my way

[@alanapotkonjak7]

I have had this song on repeat crying. I have never heard an artist make me feel so normal. And i just got my depression anxiety and ptsd semi under control and this song its empowers those. Not only did I listen to it and think i overcame my deppresion but I also used to be in an abusive relationship and I got out survived and now I am currently engaged to an amazing man. However this song hit my heart because every scar is proof i could have been dead and I survived and made it through to the other side. Keep up hope. I was ready to end it all tons of times but it IS something you can overcome! thank you Citizen Soldier because of you these songs are a life line to what I what through and for finally coming out on the other side. I couldnt have made it without the help of your songs and knowing i wasnt the only one feeling completely worthless

[@ravenveilz1250]

Such an amazing track. i’ve been listening to this track the most off of scarecrows official release. This song really resonates with me, and when the chorus came in for the first time that I heard it, I cried my eyes out. Your skill in songwriting is nothing short of amazing.

[@CitizenSoldier]

Love to hear that Raven 🧡

[@cu-m3815]

I have left too many scars in my mind and body that will never heal. Those scars, especially those of the mind, sometimes turn on their fangs like beasts and try to drive me to my own destruction. This horror is incomprehensible to those who have never experienced it. That is why this song grabs my heart and won't let go. Someday I will sing this song in high spirits. I will live through to that day.

[@dinonuggies13]

Dang dude I feel you, I guess I just didn't really the scars on my mind where scars... we got this tho

[@valerieramirez4109]

Beautiful!!! Amen!!! Thanks for helping us heal with every song!!!

[@CitizenSoldier]

Glad the music helps Valerie 🧡

[@valerieramirez4109]

@@CitizenSoldier it truly does. There were many days your music was the only thing I had. I relate to it all. You're amazing and just know you're saving lives with your music. God bless y'all!!!

[@jinavargas6609]

I hope this reaches as many people as it needs to, the hell he went through definitely deserves to serve a purpose.

[@bangtanarmy5991]

I relate to the every single word of this song specially " the darkest days that made a masterpiece ", I've felt like this for a long time and used to hurt myself bc i hated myself but now I'm proud that I hold on and whenever I remember of my past , always a smile appears on my face bc I was so strong . Thank you for writing this song , nothings better than a song that makes you feel good about yourself 🤍

[@nadineobviously5878]

Im proud of u❤

[@bangtanarmy5991]

@nadineobviously5878 🩷thank you

[@bethg7026]

These are the messages that our children need to hear. And sometimes their parents, who also go to these dark places and need to hear that we are enough. Thank you.

[@patrycjasz.9564]

"used to feel so ashamed of all the things I wrote about myself with razor blade" ... It is nice to knoe that I am not the only one with this problem

[@rainbowwilkes6213]

Your songs always incite such emotions in me. I'm crying right now. It's like I can feel your pain and empathy in your songs and songwriting. Incredible as always!

[@SugarCoatedMoth]

this came up for me the same night i relapsed really badly. it felt like instead of sitting there in the dark alone there was someone next to me, even if it was just through my headphones. its a struggle but we keep going and we keep writing new chapters to our lives, until theres nothing left to write.

[@lillianastorm6985]

I love this song, it hits pretty close to home. The melody and lyrics are beautiful, it moved me to tears when I first heard it. Theres just so much emotion in this song. This is really something that I needed to hear, thank you guys for your beautiful music 🧡

[@DemonYoriichiTsugikuni.]

Here 🥺🧻🧻🧻

[@josieburton7036]

This hits me so hard I've fought with my mental health since being a teen the scars I hold today are a reminder of what lifes thrown at me I've never thought I'd listen to a song that speaks so much volume to not only me but hundreds of people I'm absolutely in love with your songs xx

[@kjbramhall4977]

The lyrics always have so much power and now we get to read them on the screen

[@ellyqueen296]

Many years ago I was told by a loved one: "See your scars as medals. They are proof that something tried to kill you, and couldn't". And now I found a band that tells me the exact same thing. Holy sh*t.

[@kebah11]

It’s like you pulled out my soul and painted it into music Thank you

[@nightfall9000]

This song is really heartfelt and beautiful. Thank you for voicing the things that many of us desperately need to hear.

[@sapphirelord6876]

This song is beautiful. Absolutely Great. I love the three new songs that came out with the album. They just had me at tears

[@DemonYoriichiTsugikuni.]

Here 🥺🧻🧻🧻

[@CitizenSoldier]

It's ok to cry 🧡

[@thatspellcastkkid_7672YT]

"Cause there's a kid out there that's hearing this that's in that place." A line you can hold on to as an inspiration, hope, both or so much more, whether you're the kid in that place, or the one wanting to reach out for them.

[@phantomdingus5491]

As someone who got their left forearm covered almost two months ago, I really appreciate this. Another banger. 💜Alright, I'm gonna go cry now.

[@allancallander449]

My 18 year old niece sent me this, for as long as I can remember I've always tried to hide my battles with my inner demons so that she and her sisters wouldn't see it. When she sent me this, I realized that she knew all along and looked up to me like a hero regardless, that melted my heart. That line "a heart of gold no it don't come cheap, and this heart of golds one the world will need." That bit shattered me coming from her.

[@anaclaraana1511]

I was so looking forward to this song because it's been a few months since I stopped cutting myself and it's been really hard since every time someone sees the scars they're either ridiculing or giving some motivational speech and this song made me feel much better than them, thank you

[@CitizenSoldier]

Appreciate you Ana 🧡 Glad the music helps

[@brittanygooch4768]

I'm so happy to have found your music. It says all the words from my soul that I hold inside.

[@SomeWannaBeArtist]

I would have left a comment earlier if I hadn't replayed the song more times than I breathe. Watched the video and listened to this song so much already. Out of all the songs Citizen Soldier put out, this is my most relatable and my favorite. I've healed and have gotten stronger than ever thanks to my parents and this band, thank you Citizen Soldier for.. everything

[@printility9602]

The line “you can’t change the past, only choose the frame” made me understand why they say “it hit me” because it genuinely felt like I ran into something. I love this song and I don’t think you need to have done self harm for it to resonate. Framing the scars of your past as empowering instead of a weakness is amazing and I hope more people will come to appreciate their own strength and the proof of it. Love ya, keep it up ❤

[@JamieEkers]

This song is everything !!! How do you always manage to hit right through the heart it's insane !!! This band is really something else, exactly what I needed in my life. My personal sign 💕😍

[@CitizenSoldier]

Much love to you Jamie 🧡

[@chrisannahampton]

this song brought tears to my eyes
