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.

I have to thank you! This is the first group that: 1st) Stands behind its name! 2nd) Didn't just make one album for mental health issues 3rd) Each song sounds different from the others, filled with emotion giving us, the listeners, the lesson that emotions are okay! A true Citizen Soldier(s)!

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.

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! ❤❤❤

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?

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.

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

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.

What in heaven was that?! You are getting better and better. Even the verses have such a great vibe - I LOVE IT!!!❤ And the last part of the 2nd verse with the breaking point and getting ennerved until they find mine...GOOSEBUMPS, that's what I can say. Another banger, another masterpiece! Thank you!🙏🙌

I promised myself that the light in me wouldn't go out until I made sure my brother was safe from the people who have hurt us, I've lost my way a few times but I will strengthen myself more than ever to achieve that goal, thank you for this amazing music❤

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!

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....❤️‍🩹

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

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

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! ❤️

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.

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

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 💚💚💚💚💚

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.

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

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.

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

Yeah a mix of low self esstem and empathy and being overprotective leads me to self sacrifice the only reason I'm alive is cuz I have ti kept other safe and happy and keep those who make them happy safe

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

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

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

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

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.

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....

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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....

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.

Finally, this song's arrived. 🔥 This is my favorite from the album so far, so relatable. It perfectly captures the experience of having to hold on for the sake of another. ❤️‍🩹 Keep fighting on. ❤️‍🩹

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

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..

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.

Can I just say, I love how in throughout new songs, you make reference to ones you've already done? Its honestly wonderful. Thanks for being here for us. You may be a stranger at best, but you listen more than most people do

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 🥲💙

Thank you for giving the community a song that so deeply resonates with everyone.

This was me. I talked myself down twice. I am an anchor for so many, not even by choice. Some people just see my resolve to keep going in the face of all opposition, and see it as inspiring. Thankfully that era came to an end, and I started therapy, met someone who saw through it and is supportive, and made it.

Ребята, спасибо за ваши песни, всегда такие личные, откровенные и смелые. Иногда так важно услышать, что ты не один, кто каждый день пережёвывает это говно в своей голове. И каждый раз как слушаю , мне кажется что это мой старый друг положил мне руку на плечо и говорит "Всё нормально, я понимаю, я тоже это чувствую. но мы справимся, всё будет хорошо. Мы справимся..."

"I gotta be strong for somebody" is the thing I say to myself when I am depressed because if ur not strong for somebody how can u be strong for urself. i have to be strong for her.

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.

Fantastic song 🔥🤘

Never have a song described my life so perfectly. Especially the last 6 months have been so hard and I know the next long time will be at least as hard and painfull. And to be honest, I’m really afraid of what the future will bring. So I’m really thankful to have found a song that describes it so painfully good! Thank you so much for this song CS🩵🙌🏻

Strong for my boys, for my husband, for my family!! Gotta keep it in just keep pushing through!! ❤your songs thank you for your music!!!
