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

"Die selfish or live with my head in a noose" The moment I heard those lyrics, tears instantly formed. Those lyrics, and this entire song, could not describe what I'm going through better. Thank you once again for being my voice, Citizen Soldier.

*"Do you hold it together for somebody else?"* Yes, in fact, I do. I just wanna give up but I don't wanna leave them so thank you for yet another great song, Citizen Soldier!

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

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 ❤

As a single mom of 4 and a traumatic past that still lives in my head... This is exactly how I feel. Thank you for making me feel less alone ❤

I lost my daughter almost 5 years ago. She was 20 at the time. I haven’t been the same person since. I’ve read books, a few therapy sessions and some grief counseling. All saying it takes time. This song puts it in perspective. Through my worst nightmare, I’ve had to keep going. Thank you for making this song. ❤

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

100/10 it speaks perfectly for those who struggle with addiction and depression but also tells listeners that they are not alone😊

I HAVE WAITED FOR IT SINCE I FIRST HEARD IT!!!! It's so awesome omg!!!!! I LOVE IT SO MUCH! You did such a great work as always guys. Thank you for being with us and helping people get out of their hell

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)!

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?

"Haunted by thoughts of the ones I love most, I picture them living alone with my ghost" & "Does it ever get better? Is this worth the fight?" hit me like a damn truck, i knew this would hit hard & this was certainly the song i was anticipating but MY GOD was this amazing. some of the best verses in melodies & lyrics yall have written as well

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!

I'm always strong for everyone. At times I want to be selfish and end it all. But this song now serves as a new reminder that I have people who would miss me. So I carry on for them and them alone.

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

If you’re reading this. We gonna get through it all. No matter what type of hell is there and still waiting.

Another incredible song and lyric video from CS! Wasn't ready for it to hit me as hard as it did. Guess I should have known better by now😂 I hope everyone that sees this has an incredible day/night/ whenever you see this. Sending hugs to anyone that wants/needs them🤗🤗🤗

In the bad times, my husband was the only thing that kept me alive. But he knew and I was not alone with the feeling. So I feel this song, but on a different vibe. Wishing everyone who is struggling rn a lot of strength, compassion and support.

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

As someone Who is struggling rn with My Past and PTSD and feeling like my mentality is going downhill ❤️‍🩹🔥🥺 This song describes it so well

It's so amazing! Thank you so much for making these songs for people who need them! Keep it up!❤❤❤

As a single father who is recently separated from the mother and still dealing with the ordeals of life, I appreciate every SINGLE drop this band makes man. Yall keep myself and everyone else like myself pushing. Stay blessed

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.

This song really hits home cause i feel like i have to be strong for everyone, bury all the pain and fake a smile otherwise they will judge me and run away from me cause they don't like who i am, and it hurts cause all i want to do is scream and cry but i can't. Citizen soldier this song and all your other songs mean the world to me cause they say what i can't so thank you 😭❤

Hi Jake I am a student if it wasn't for my parents whom I loves the most I would have ended my pain . Their face and smile is what drives me to not give up on my life yet. So thank you for releasing the song I can relate with the most . ❤❤

Я вас люблю. Вы сейчас занимаете 90% моего плейлиста. Песни в самое сердце. Вокал под кожу. Невлзможно слушать без слез.

Your songs ALWAYS hit close, this one is on a whole other level of relatable. I'm a single mom and always have to be strong and keep pushing ahead for my son and my parents. I break down nightly when my son is sleeping. No ONE knows how much I cry and how hard I fight to stay alive. Thank you for being a voice to those of us who feel silenced or can't speak what we are feeling.

Haven’t listened to it yet, and won’t be able to until I get home. But I’ve heard the clips, and it’s relatable asf. I’m currently waiting in a respit room at court, being strong for somebody else. Speaking about my trauma all week and listening to trial, working like hell for the past 6 years to get this case to trial, all to save my little cousins from that man. Thank y’all for giving me the most relatable songs I’ve ever heard.

As someone who chose to heal shattered people as a career I can relate to this song I've been waiting to get the energy from this song ❤

Thanks to my grandpa. He wants me to live my life. I’m doing fine and I keep pushing myself because I got to be strong for my kids and my husband ❤

this song had no right to hit me so hard..

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!🙏🙌

Brother this song touches my soul on the deepest level. Your songs always do. Thank you so much for showing that none of us are alone in the fight 🔥🔥🔥💚💙💜

"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

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.

OMG I LOVE IT

I´ve been waiting so long for this song and IT WAS SO WORTH IT DAMN! Loving it ❤

This song couldn't have had better timing. Sometimes we don't have a choice but to be strong for someone else, no matter what it costs us...Thank you making yet another song that speaks to my heart and soul. This'll be on repeat for a while.

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

This song is exactly how I feel right now. Made me cry, throughout the whole song because every word expresses, everything I feel. Hits way too hard. I love the lyrics and the song. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

The First Always❤❤ I became obsessed with this day because of you so all thanks and standing ovations to you 💖 I hope that "Good Enough for God" will be the next song

Thank you so much for this. I don't feel so alone anymore. If my son ever reads this, just know that Dad loves you buddy. So much.

I don't have words for this one. I really like it as always and that "just be happy" is perfect in the lyrics! 💜

Every single word is true 😭😭 I've been waiting sooo long for this song to drop.

I've been waiting for this song to be released since I heard the snippets of the song. It's a MASTERPIECE!!

I'm a 12 year old boy who has to take care of my 51 year old drunk mom this song is me

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❤

You're my hero Jake. Just look at all these comments of people being saved by you and your music !! I am definitely one of them. Thank you for helping us all live another day on this painful earth. Just remember, not only are you here for us, but we are all here for you always. God bless you Jake....your voice is so beautiful and thank you for sharing such a great masterpiece....love & respect to you..🐨💜

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'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.

Thank you for making this song. I've always flet like I had to hide the thoughts in my head so the ones around me wouldn't worry, the darker my mind became, the more I hide behind a smile. Thank you so much for making a song thank makes me and others fell less alone and more understood!💜💕

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.

The lyrics, so dark and relatable. This is almost reaching the top 1 favourite for me. It just has this vibe to it that captivates me. Thank you again for giving us this masterpiece! It’s highly appreciated by so many people🧡

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.

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?

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 ❤

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!

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

Another heavy hitting masterpiece, thank you❤

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 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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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 💚💚💚💚💚

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

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

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

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

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.

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..."

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

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

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

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

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

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

I just recently lost my stepmom to cancer. So being strong for My family and listening to this song really helped me thank you.

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! ❤️

Incredible sound as always, and as always is just improving in every new one ❤️‍🔥🙌🏻🫶

Every single song this band makes feels like a theme for my life... I don't know how you can put words to how I feel so perfectly, but thank you.

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

My first born child died 2 weeks ago today of an overdose .. My hateful mother thought she could do better than I could.. He was doomed from the day she took him.. I have 3 other children that I have raised from day one, all happy health young adults all drug free.. I stay strong for them, they need me as much as I need them..

This really resonates with me. I will always be as strong as I can for them.

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.

To hear this while struggling with PTSD and BPD, I can't believe that I found a song that takes the weight off my shoulders. I thought I was alone, but thank you. For basically making a song that can help heal me. Props to you CitizenSoldier. Props to you.

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 🥲💙

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. ❤️‍🩹

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🩵🙌🏻

These aren’t just songs their stories stories that tells that there’s another way

This song was going through my head over the weekend because on Saturday it was when my family and I finally had a funeral for my grandfather..... We couldn't do that during COVID...... 💔💔💔💔

im absolutely in love with this song..from the first lines im obsessed..thank you so much for this amazing song❤

From some who watched their dad being stabbed by their mom at 7 years and still having to live with that at 14 this song is just how I feel. Like I need to act strong in front of everyone but I cry my self to sleep at night. So thank you for this song.

If my past self heard this 2 years ago she would take it as a song that mentions her pains and how she's not alone , but now it's a song that shows me how far I've come and didn't give up on myself ✨️
