To anyone who is having a hard time. Take a deep breath. Drink some water. Eat food. Take a break, you need it. You are worth everything in this world.I love you.
As someone with an invisible chronic illness and as someone with mental battles I would have to say this is an absolute masterpiece! Your music has gotten me through so many hospital visits and many hardships!
I totally agree. I have some chronic illinesses too and no doctor can help and even tell the diagnosis. And it's getting so much worse. Citizen Soldier is genius in describing emotional and physical battles we go through every day.
My freind who ive been helping since i got him off the streets has autism.and parinoid schizaphrenia.is getting worse.losing the battle.and now guy we stay with is in hospital.he might not make it.andvwe both end up homeless again on the holidays.trying to fight my own pains and his too.onmy to end up losing anyway.
When you say "No one will ever understand what I've been going through my entire life" and citizen soldier says, here let me sing your entire life in every song we've made
To whoever is reading this, actually read, please, didn't skip over. Citizen Soldier has helped me more than words could express. I went from relating and relying on these songs, to knowing that i don't Have to feel that way anymore. I don't feel that way anymore. Always December, Would Anyone Care, If I Surrender, Bedroom Ceiling, and I'm Not Okay, were probably the ones that saw me through my darker times, along with God. I felt lost, alone, hurt, afraid, depressed, and worthless every day. And I grew up in a very kind, stable environment. I have a home, a loving family, and the best friend that anyone could ever ask for (thanks Maddox!). But I still felt depressed. So then I beat myself up about the fact that there are people in this world who actually have a good reason to be depressed. People, kids, that grew up with abusive parents, or parents that didn't care, or listen. Or parents that weren't even there. They had every right to be depressed, every right to need help, but not me. Not a privileged teenager. Never bullied, never ignored, never intentionally hurt. So why did I feel depressed, worthless, alone??? I had no right to be. So instead of telling my parents how I felt, I acted rashly and acted out. I got high, I secretly talked to boys, I snuck around. Eventually my parents found out, and now I'm getting all the help I could have gotten all along instead of going through it all alone for 2 years. So I guess the moral of the story is that it does get better. And I know that that doesn't help right now. It's all you hear. "It'll get better, just hold on" blah, blah, blah. Not helpful. (Unless it honestly is helpful for you, If it is, good!!! You've got this!!!) But if it isn't: yep. Life sucks. It really does. Sometimes it feels like it's just purposely making you miserable for kicks and giggles. And it hurts. It really does. You feel like you'd do anything, even if it was just temporary, to forget it, or make it stop, or numb it. And that's not always bad. Sometimes you HAVE to make it stop so that you don't do something worse than drugs, or even cutting yourself. But don't use those things as an outlet. Listen to music, write a song (even if its cheesy), babble on with a silly friend, work, because sometimes temporary relief helps us try harder to make that relief permanent, if that makes any sense. It's always darkest just before the dawn. You will probably feel much worse than you do now before you'll feel better, but that's life. But you WILL feel better. Eventually. And if you know for a fact that it CANNOT get worse, then you're just one step closer to being better. Even if it's just a little bit. No depression just goes away overnight. It takes work, and you have to try. It's like working out. You have to WANT to get better before you can. Anywho, I really hope that this helps you out, and if it doesn't, hopefully Citizen Soldier's music can, or someone else.
Whoa. We're speechless Sabrina. Glad things got better for you, and we're so happy our music has helped you. This is why we do what we do. Much love from us 💜
Holy shit man... You summed up my childhood since grade three perfectly, glad you got through it; it makes me feel better knowing it's possible to get through this, so thanks for sharing
This helps so much cause of the mental abuse is not shown on the surface this helps so much making me feel so less alone thank you guys keep making the change
just woke up n honestly, i couldn’t imagine a better boost to my day than this!! your music is amazing n it always helps me get up when i need to, so thank you guys so much🤍
I found you guys recently, and tbh I not sure what it is, but I feel like I can connect to this. Through my experience with mental health this somehow helps to know that you guys create masterpieces like this to show the struggles or experiences, it's nice to know.
Welcome to this its all the songs if u lost some one or if u are depresoin or think to die i have depresoin no one have no clue i got it in my famliy and collage well this what i think its about .
I've struggled with self harm and several mental illnesses for years. Citizen soldier has always been there for me. And even though Im still recovering from an attempt their songs have given me hope to keep on living. If citizen soldier is reading this, Thank you genuinely, your a huge reason I'm still alive.
Please keep writing songs, your songs really help me, I suffer with self harm, major depression, anxiety, complex PTSD. I'm 31 years old and been suffering with self harm for 16 year. I play this song on repeat. God bless.
Wow guys you really hit with this one , jake your voice has a great sound in this and the lyrics so true and heart breaking 💔 your demons may be invisible but you are not we see and hear you, you are amazing 💙 xxxxx
look through the comments here. you're not alone. people want to help you. even in the darkest days you're not lost, please reach out. you're a person, with history and a future. you are worth something. i say this because at one time its what i needed to hear.
I tend to listen to your music whenever my mind is in a dark spot- primarily this one, "Always December," and "Never Ending Nightmare." It helps on so many levels every single time; I can cry, I can scream into a pillow, I can just... be human whenever I hear them. I'm not one to talk about my issues, even briefly, with all of my friends and family, and sure as hell don't talk about it at work. But that changed at work recently, and it shook me. A few weeks ago, I went to work with little sleep due to a nightmare caused by PTSD (thanks, childhood trauma), and my big boss noticed that I was unusually quiet (I'm usually cracking jokes all day.) Whenever I'm having a s**t day at work, or in general, I put headphones in and listen to CS because it helps me channel my emotions- and reminds me that I'm not alone. So, my boss noticed that I was out of character and had headphones in, and pulled me aside to ask me what was going on. I tried to brush it off by saying that I was tired, not to worry, etc. But she saw right through it, and knows me well enough to know that I tend to use music to communicate because it tends to "explain" things better than my words do. She looked me in the eye, pointed at her ear, and asked "what song is it, Harp?" I finally managed to bite back enough tears to say "it's 'Invisible' by Citizen Soldier." This amazing person, who used to scare the daylights out of me because she's this strong, badass woman that runs the place, pulled out her phone and said "I'm heading to my office now and will give it a listen. Just do what you can, okay? Listen to whatever you want or need to in order to keep yourself grounded." I went back to work, still locked into your music. I finished the inventory and some cleaning, and organized my work area before my shift ended, and I felt much better overall. Right before I left, she pulled me aside and asked how I was doing. I said that I was doing better, and she said "glad you’re doing better, Harp." I nodded and went to leave, and she gently stopped me, pointed at my wrist, and said "...hey, don't let the invisible demons from the PTSD, mental illness, concussions, and seizures lead you to add any more marks on your skin, okay? You're stronger than they are, and you're not alone." I didn't know what the heck to say, so I just nodded, thanked her, and headed home. That alone is proof of just how powerful of an impact your music has for me, and now for those that are getting to know me. Thank you, CS. 💜
To everyone reading this: I have been there. I understand, and I am praying for you. Hang on, because there are people who care for you, if you would look past the sneers and looks of pathetic sympathy. God loves you. "I have told you these things that in Me you may have peace. For in this world you will have trouble, but take heart; I have overcome the world."---John 16:33
This song is hitting so hard tonight.. I’m struggling so much it feels like the world is crumbling around me and I feel like my fight is failing… I’ve been so disconnected from everything even reality that I feel I already lost… this song is already helping me not feel so alone and like I haven’t fully lost yet even tho I’m feeling extremely hopeless… Another amazing song by an amazing band! Thank you so much!
Hi, you're not alone, we're a Citizen Soldier family here and we've got your back. What you wrote is verbatim how I felt when I first heard "If These Scars Could Speak". Just remember there isn't much that lasts forever, seasons change. :)
Stay strong my friend. They're will be highs and lows. I'd suggest you listen to Just Like You by NF there is a line "it's the lows in life that makes you cherish the highs" ( or something along those lines) he's just like them and writes raps about the real life (I mean his music is labeled NFRealMusic). He does it all without swearing. His music helps me along with Smash into pieces and citizen soldier.
@@ARC-0606 yeah I've listened to NF before that guy is cool tho I don't think I've listened to that one I'll check it out. Thank you for the suggestion!
As a Borderline person, depressed, lesbian, broken and rejected human being.... I can certainly say MY DEMONS ARE INVISIBLE!!! Thank you CS 💜 for this masterpiece!!
Wow. Every song is like someone is looking inside my head & soul and finally says the things that I didn't know how to say. Im so exhausted, I'm so glad I've found your music ❤
"I painted a picture of a creature so ugly that lives here in me" I feel that talks about the effort I put in trying to express what I have to live with, and still I think the picture will never get enough realism to depict my inner demons. I think they are very hard to express, a couple of weeks ago I had to talk with a psychologist from my school, and I wasn't able to say everything I felt, it was like my invisible demons were making me cry to keep myself quiet about them, they've been causing me so many episodes of anxiety and depression, and the last two times I wanted so badly to cut myself because of that, luckily I just made a simulation of the harm I wanted to cause myself with some of my red painting and a red pen, but I still felt bad about myself and scared for when I might go from simulation to reality. This song really express the suffering I feel just by living with the suffocating hell inside myself, so thank you citizen soldier, you guys don't even know me and still, you can say everything I feel, even when I can't say it💛
Citizen Soldier, I am your biggest fan. I am deaf but your special effects with subtitles in the video help ME get through my mental health. I attempted suicide 5 times and was hospitalized a few times in the month of November 2021 and your videos got me through! as well as Adele's new lyrics... both you and her got me through the grief of losing my ex-boyfriend who left me due to my mental health. I have a tattoo that says "this too, shall pass" keep it coming.. please stay with the special effects with subtitles it helps me and I will continue sharing your videos with my deaf friends and family!
I'm a person who have passed through a lot and so much abuse, abuse of any kind actually, you guys with your music, you always makes me feel that I'm not alone in this battle, a battle that I have been fighting alone by myself, you have helped to fight and get better when I have my anxiety attacks, I love you so much♡♡♡
This song is depression and sadness expressed through words that I didn't know how to say before. Thank you for making this feeling accessible to the people on the outside. It makes me feel lighter, knowing that I can show people this, with the hope that they'll understand who I am and how I feel.
To Citizen Soldier Hi, I’m 14 years old and I have been with you for a year now and you have been the second-best thing that had happened to me after my family. When I ever felt down your music would always make me feel better again. I came to know you by the song ‘Would anyone care’ and it was five days after ‘I’m not okay’ came. ‘Would anyone care’ is now on my top three songs of all time. After I heard the emotional song, I checked your channel out and listen to the other songs you have released. Every one of them made me feel sad but happy that someone else out there feels the same as me. (Not that I want anyone to feel that way though). Every song you had released after I came to listen to your songs were all so perfect. They all had touched my heart because every song is something similar to what I have experienced, what I want to do or what I truly feel. And the fact that you release so many songs so often I amazing. Other artists can’t begin to compare against you. But that fact made me realize that how often you release those songs that something has or is happening, because other people that don’t have the experience that we have felt can’t write songs like this that touch the heart of who have. (Or if it’s not I'm sorry). I have a wish that you could make possible, but if you don’t want to its ok as well because every song you have made is a masterpiece. The wish is could you make a song that has the title ‘It’s okay to cry’’ or ‘’Let it all out’’. I know it’s hard to make a song only from a title believe me I've tried but you chose what you want to do. You have been my favorite band since the second I heard your song. Keep on the good work and touch the hearts of others that have it like this. You’re a rising star only to grow higher and higher into the infinity. I really appreciate the things you have done and I want to say one thing: ‘’Thank you’’.
I like the idea of them making a song from those titles. I can definitely see Citizen Soldier yet again pouring out what so mean of us can't find the words for. I often get words circling in my head so I find myself searching for songs with phrases or stories around the words that are almost visible too me.
i've missed your guys music, you guys always know how you get me out of my pit of dispare and depression, thank you all for what you do to make this music possible. love you guys (helps with mentally preparing for school)
I could go on about a bit of my life struggles that this song awakens from within my faded memories.. But instead I'll just say this: you're worthy of all the good life offers. You're not alone despite the darkest of thoughts they make you think. You can reach out, past their silhouetted grasps, to find a hand that'll hold yours. Keep going. Your light is strong and your fire is wild. Straighten your back, relax your jaw, ease off yourself. When the dark days come face them. You are in control. You will win. You can win. You have won before because you're here again. So win again. Light your fire and win again.
My parents ignored and didn't believed me as I told them about my demons and that killed me. I'm glad to have friends who are always there for me and you fellas ❤️ because of you I can put my feelings in words
After getting my second surgery yesterday, this song has been an encouraging reminder to me that everyone goes through difficult times and not everyone may know about them. But regardless of those tough moments I can push through knowing that, and I fully believe things will get better because of it. Whoever takes the time to read this, things will be ok, never give up on yourself and push through those hard times. Someone will surely have your back and I will too. You can do it, you are all worth it and you are all amazing people! On a side note, amazing music as always citizen soldier, I look forward to your next powerfully encouraging song!
I may not be suffering as bad as most people in out world, but this song has hit a whole part of me that I have tried to forget and act like it was never there. Most of your songs hot so many bases at home, you guys are absolutely amazing! Please keep going, and please never give up!
Everyone who has commented on this video. Everyone now knows about your demons so they are no longer invisible. Keep on fighting, you *will* get through this :)
This song and many like it are why I am a diehard fan of yours. As someone with autism and ADD, this speaks to me. I was always treated like I was normal, and never got the help I needed when I needed it. But this music speaks to me and reinforces my desire to help others like me. You guys are helping me through nursing school.
I have lived with Multiple Sclerosis since 2007, and I as officially diagnosed with depression in 2011. This song hits on so many levels. I love the entire album, but this song brings out so much emotion when I’m driving and singing it at the top of my lungs. Absolutely amazing.
I also have MS. Have had the diagnosis for little over a year now. Cried so hard when I listened this song. It's so emotionally draining when everyone thinks I'm overreacting when I'm so dizzy I can barley walk. Because I look fine but in reality everything is spinning and I'm nauseous as hell. Or when I have so much fatigue it physically hurts to open my eyes because I'm so tired and I have to just sleep all day. I love all Citizen Soldier song but this one hits differently.
As someone with high functioning autism this song speaks to me because for the most part my autism is “invisible to everyone else”except for me and people think that high functioning autistic people are normal but it’s not true in the slightest we try to hide our autism till it all comes out at once that’s why we have rage fits is because we try to hide it so well that we can’t hide it anymore.So if you know someone who’s high functioning please talk to them and try to give them a helping hand just by talking to us we crave social interaction almost as much as everyone else does.
Your music is a Godsend--literally. Every time I'm exhausted and overwhelmed by loneliness (especially if my chronic illness is flaring) your music helps me out of it. Can't wait for more songs from you!
I couldn’t even finish listening to this song without crying. I cried for hours. I don’t know why it triggered me so bad. But if I know one thing it’s that this song is AMAZING and put together so beautiful.💕
My family has been affected by a lot of mental illness, so I can relate to these songs on a close level. Music can be an outlet for me, especially when I am feeling stressed. Also, your songs give me inspiration when writing, because they fit in so well with my main characters and their struggles. Keep being amazing, you are one of my favorite bands.
I hope you guys know how much you help out people that struggle with your music.. The music itself is amazing but the texts have so much meaning and you can really connect to them. Listening to Never good enough on repeat helped me through quite a lot of difficult days. If there is something like a heaven be sure that you will have a special place in there
“ MY DEMONS ARE INVISIBLE “ Thanks guys for another song that touches my soul…. Without your music and songs I’m sure I’m existing would have ended long ago. Congratulations on another price of soul touching work, love you guys
Always feeling bullied by my own self always saying he will take care of everything that I'm weak and pathetic it's not easy fighting him and i feel I'm regressing back falling back into a victim by those i thought was my friend back to this horrible pain soon it will be my memories haunting me again until i am no more it's like I'm falling back into that deep dark abyss and it scares me it took me over 2 years to finally get out of that horrible place i don't want to drown again maybe Joshua is right maybe i am weak he is strong and i am weak and then my dad verbally abused me everything he's ever said to me just runs in my head on repeat 🥺 I'm burning and freezing at the same time This song just hits with me i closed my eyes and just listened everyone always fight a war from within just glad i am not alone in this struggle you keep me strong Citizen Soldier your songs always will be dear to me ❤ 🙏 bless you all 🥺🙇♂️for everything
If you're partner is doing this to you I'd advise calling the hotline for domestic abuse. It won't be easy to leave but with help from professioprofessionals and others you will be able to leave
When I'm in my dark place (which is often), I've started opening up RUclips and playing every Citizen Solider song and have a good cry and/or yell and then I feel the hope and it gets better. Thank you, Citizen Solider for being my music therapy. You've saved my life more then a few times and I recently found out you do the same for my 16 year old daughter. Thank you for getting it, singing about it and sharing it. I can't be the only one who relies on your music to bring hope and feelings of not being alone in this mind war we gothrough.
Every night , when im depreseed , i switch off the light and start my citizens soldier playlist. I just one to say thank you so so so much . I would have died with out your songs. They put my pain into word and helps me3 through the night. As a 13 year old , it is really hard to deal with depression alone , and your songs are my only companions in my dark times. Thank you.
As always it hits Home " no one knows because my scars never show", i just wanna thank you again for your work. I hope youre all doing well and are healthy as good it can be right now, keep it up youre helping a lot of people arround the world. Greetings from germany ✌
Thank you so much for your music, you have no idea how much it helps me. I truly believe God led me here. Thank you for being so real with your lyrics. I really could use some prayers.
I love this song so much when I saw this video came out I was so excited 💜💜 I think everyone battling mental illness or even some chronic illness can relate to this song. Amazing
Thank you. As someone who fights this fight. It's comforting to have you put my suffering into song. It's so awful having med staff or people blame weight for my suffering and so comforting to be validated by med who see beyond that to what actually is going on. I have learned to be mostly ok with not being the same n having less energy, more pain and having to adapt to bad days. So incredibly grateful for you and those who understand. Virtual hugs to my fellow fighters who live like i do. You are all strong and amazing even when you do not feel like it!!!!
Oh god, I feel this. I was diagnosed with depression a few days ago. And I know that I had it for a while. And I know...that I can't tell my family about this. Because they don't believe this decease is real. I know they're gonna make fun of me or get mad, because I'm using "excuses" to "be lazy" So yeah, this song speaks to me. Thank you for making it
Waiting in line to meet my psychiatrist while listening to your songs.. makes the anxiety under go & make it bearable cause your music shuts the world out for me & its me & you who understand me... I love you guys sooo damn much..
Your music kept me company when I was at my lowest. It's sad that I can't no longer directly feel the songs but they remind me that I'm better now. Keep doing what you are doing, it has helped so many people including me
Another amazing song!!! My demons are invisible, but the more abuse I experience, the stronger my demons become, taking me down slowly. It feels like my entire existence is invisible to my family, nobody ever believes me when I try to express how bad my mental health is, and just ignore me. Soon enough they'll regret, whether because I killed myself, or because I left my family and won't talk to them, their choice
For YEARS I could never find a song or band that understood what emotions I had been going through. Nearly every single y'all have just hits home. Thank you for making music that so many can relate to. 💛
Definitely sharing this song on my social media. 100% true love you guys always doing songs that people need to hear to get them through. I hope you guys are okay yourselves? Much love ❤️
I finally broke down and bought my first piece of merch from y'all last night! It is going to be a Christmas present to me. I found y'all back when you first began, so I am an OG fan!! I wanted to breakdown earlier when your purple t-shirt was in stock. I had it and the my story isn't over with a ; ready to checkout, but problem is I never went through with the checkout item process. I did miss out on the purple t-shirt, but I did however get the my story isn't over with a ;. It is on it's way now. I wanna thank y'all because I was/am coming outta some of the darkest places in my life. I didn't delay on y'all's music I give it a listen as soon as it becomes available. Big shout-out to Citizen Soldier for all the feels!!!
I follow you since 2014 and i loved every single song that came out, your voice is special and the lyrics can be related to.. You deserve more fame you guys been born for greatness 🙏🏼
No one seems to realize... My deepest scars lie UNDERNEATH, not on top. THis is a masterpiece, you guys are amazing, thank you for all the amazing music.
Your music is able to reach a part of people that is buried so deep it can't be free. I haven't felt such a relation to music since I first discovered NF, and I can say for a fact your music says what SO many wish they could say, but keep it so far down in fear. *Your an inspiration and a savior during my anxiety attacks and when I just feel so alone and wanna quit.* My own experience is, music is the only way to someone's soul. Not the soul we think if, but the soul we feel. *Thank You.*
Wow. Just wow!! This is my entire life in another exceptional song from Citizen soldier. Thank you so much. These songs are empowering and, help me gain insight
I've got a secret that just might kill me It's tucked in deeply in my head I keep it quiet so you won't hear it So much abuse for what I leave unsaid This is life or death You can't see it yet It's not make-believe It's so real to me Underneath my skin And it always wins My demons are invisible My demons are invisible No one knows 'Cause my scars never show And no one believes me My demons are invisible My demons are invisible I painted a picture Of a creature so ugly that lives here in me I pulled back the curtain that hid this nightmare But you only saw what you wanted to see Underneath my skin And it always wins My demons are invisible My demons are invisible No one knows 'Cause my scars never show And no one believes me My demons are invisible Living in a world so invisible 'Cause you don't wanna know I am innocent, my blissful ignorance Leaves me here all alone My demons are invisible It's underneath my skin And it always wins My demons are invisible My demons are invisible No one knows 'Cause my scars never show And no one believes me My demons are invisible My demons are invisible My demons are invisible
Gotta say, the band has beats I like, great vocals and literally the ONLY GROUP with songs that are nearly as they were written for me! That is not ego talking, just wow... I relate to so many & they've helped me during panic attacks, deadly OCD rituals, fear, etc. Out of my 35 years on this Earth I've yet to find a group better than Citizen Soldier. They're my favorite group, especially with relatable lyrics.
So many people feel invisible because mental illness leaves no physical scars. Thank you for writing songs that make us feel less alone, God bless you 🙏❤
I jus't can have a word for this, I''ve been listening to you for 2 years now. You have became my favorite music group, thank you for everything, the feelings you put in your songs are indescriptible.
Damn i never get tired to hear your songs I mean is litteraly like I'm seeing a part of me in each of your songs but you guys manage to say the words that i am not able to say Honnestly thank you 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Honestly, I discovered you through a friend of mine, and I can say that I seriously thank her. You're great Citizen Soldier, every single one of your songs is gold to me
Ever since i found citizen soldier with the first track i listened to "would anyone care" there was something about it that really connected with me. Then hand me down came along and really spoke to me feeling like i felt unwanted in a relationship i tried to rekindle. In the end i decided to stop trying to contact them because it just wasn't worth it anymore. Then the album comes out and invisible was the one track i was looking forward to hearing and no words can describe how powerful it is to me. Battling my mental health demons especially after surviving the manchester bombings in 2017 with a lot of mental trauma that still affects me to this day. That combined with my autism as well makes it even harder to succeed in life.
I relate to these lyrics on a spiritual level I live and work around people that refuse to acknowledge anything other than intense physical pain, and it's so exhausting trying to get people to see that it's just easier to put on a fake smile and pretend like you aren't dead inside because you don't want to burden them and ruin their day.
You guys! This song! Everytime a new song comes out, I'm preparing to get ready for an emotional load of feelings, but this time I was overjoyed and happy to listen to this song. It sounds weird right? How heavy this song is I got happy. I resonate with alot of your songs especially this one. But this song lifted my darkness and my chest is relieved and lighter. I don't know why but yeah I'm suprised but also serious, so yeah good song! I will make art about it !! Looking forward for your new releases! I really love you guys not only the songs which I also love btw xD
This is an amazing piece of art! Thank you so much for writing this! It is one of the most relatable songs I have ever heard! I’m not sure of your personal meaning behind it but for me it represents living with ADHD and the spectrum and how I have to cope with society as whole and how they treated me! I have been cast aside so many times in my life and let down by so many people I loved simply because they could never understand the demons that live inside of me! Not from the Spectrum itself but because of the of the way I have had to try to hide it and pretend like I was “normal”! The scars that leaves behind built up a rage inside that sometime just can’t be controlled and in those moments, that when I usually resort to self isolation to protect my own sanity and that of those around me! So thank you again! You guys are incredible! Keep up the good work! I will forever be a fan!
You guys are really the voices for the people who struggle. ❤❤ You speak for those of us who feel we have to hide in the shadows and stay silent. Thank you for giving us a voice.
As a medically retired Paramedic who is dealing with PTSD (the reason I was medically retired), you have climbed into my brain and given my thoughts words. I don't have the words to thank you all properly but you give me hope.

As someone with an invisible chronic illness and as someone with mental battles I would have to say this is an absolute masterpiece! Your music has gotten me through so many hospital visits and many hardships!
I totally agree with this... I have invisible chronic illnesses too and I find their music so therapeutic too
Much love to you Dakota 💜 Stay strong friend, you're not alone in those battles.
@@princess112694 yes
I totally agree. I have some chronic illinesses too and no doctor can help and even tell the diagnosis. And it's getting so much worse.
Citizen Soldier is genius in describing emotional and physical battles we go through every day.
My freind who ive been helping since i got him off the streets has autism.and parinoid schizaphrenia.is getting worse.losing the battle.and now guy we stay with is in hospital.he might not make it.andvwe both end up homeless again on the holidays.trying to fight my own pains and his too.onmy to end up losing anyway.
When you say "No one will ever understand what I've been going through my entire life" and citizen soldier says, here let me sing your entire life in every song we've made
To whoever is reading this, actually read, please, didn't skip over. Citizen Soldier has helped me more than words could express. I went from relating and relying on these songs, to knowing that i don't Have to feel that way anymore. I don't feel that way anymore. Always December, Would Anyone Care, If I Surrender, Bedroom Ceiling, and I'm Not Okay, were probably the ones that saw me through my darker times, along with God. I felt lost, alone, hurt, afraid, depressed, and worthless every day. And I grew up in a very kind, stable environment. I have a home, a loving family, and the best friend that anyone could ever ask for (thanks Maddox!). But I still felt depressed. So then I beat myself up about the fact that there are people in this world who actually have a good reason to be depressed. People, kids, that grew up with abusive parents, or parents that didn't care, or listen. Or parents that weren't even there. They had every right to be depressed, every right to need help, but not me. Not a privileged teenager. Never bullied, never ignored, never intentionally hurt. So why did I feel depressed, worthless, alone??? I had no right to be. So instead of telling my parents how I felt, I acted rashly and acted out. I got high, I secretly talked to boys, I snuck around. Eventually my parents found out, and now I'm getting all the help I could have gotten all along instead of going through it all alone for 2 years.
So I guess the moral of the story is that it does get better. And I know that that doesn't help right now. It's all you hear. "It'll get better, just hold on" blah, blah, blah. Not helpful. (Unless it honestly is helpful for you, If it is, good!!! You've got this!!!) But if it isn't: yep. Life sucks. It really does. Sometimes it feels like it's just purposely making you miserable for kicks and giggles. And it hurts. It really does. You feel like you'd do anything, even if it was just temporary, to forget it, or make it stop, or numb it. And that's not always bad. Sometimes you HAVE to make it stop so that you don't do something worse than drugs, or even cutting yourself. But don't use those things as an outlet. Listen to music, write a song (even if its cheesy), babble on with a silly friend, work, because sometimes temporary relief helps us try harder to make that relief permanent, if that makes any sense. It's always darkest just before the dawn. You will probably feel much worse than you do now before you'll feel better, but that's life. But you WILL feel better. Eventually. And if you know for a fact that it CANNOT get worse, then you're just one step closer to being better. Even if it's just a little bit. No depression just goes away overnight. It takes work, and you have to try. It's like working out. You have to WANT to get better before you can.
Anywho, I really hope that this helps you out, and if it doesn't, hopefully Citizen Soldier's music can, or someone else.
Whoa. We're speechless Sabrina. Glad things got better for you, and we're so happy our music has helped you. This is why we do what we do. Much love from us 💜
I had a whole big thing I was going to say, but I don't even know where to begin or end. So here's the shortened version: thanks for sharing.
Holy shit man... You summed up my childhood since grade three perfectly, glad you got through it; it makes me feel better knowing it's possible to get through this, so thanks for sharing
That makes sense
☮
Haven't even heard 5 seconds of it and I liked it. I trust y'all to put out good music. Did you ever think you'd get this far with your music?
Never thought we'd ever be this far. We have the best fans that made this happen 💜
@@CitizenSoldier Well, keep making it happen! You guys take me by surprise all the time! 🥰😁
@@CitizenSoldier you guys doing so good. I love you guys!
This helps so much cause of the mental abuse is not shown on the surface this helps so much making me feel so less alone thank you guys keep making the change
just woke up n honestly, i couldn’t imagine a better boost to my day than this!! your music is amazing n it always helps me get up when i need to, so thank you guys so much🤍
Early gang! 💜
His music is so good and it’s so underrated
I retreat to Citizen Soldiers music when I feel more depressed than usual.
I found you guys recently, and tbh I not sure what it is, but I feel like I can connect to this. Through my experience with mental health this somehow helps to know that you guys create masterpieces like this to show the struggles or experiences, it's nice to know.
Welcome to this its all the songs if u lost some one or if u are depresoin or think to die i have depresoin no one have no clue i got it in my famliy and collage well this what i think its about .
I've struggled with self harm and several mental illnesses for years. Citizen soldier has always been there for me. And even though Im still recovering from an attempt their songs have given me hope to keep on living. If citizen soldier is reading this, Thank you genuinely, your a huge reason I'm still alive.
I am so happy you are still here ❤️ the world is better with you in it xx stay strong you are a fighter ❤️
I'm proud of you for living❤
I hope you are doing better now❤
Please keep writing songs, your songs really help me, I suffer with self harm, major depression, anxiety, complex PTSD. I'm 31 years old and been suffering with self harm for 16 year. I play this song on repeat. God bless.
Ok
I'm proud of you for living❤
Keep going,the world is better with you❤
Wow guys you really hit with this one , jake your voice has a great sound in this and the lyrics so true and heart breaking 💔 your demons may be invisible but you are not we see and hear you, you are amazing 💙 xxxxx
I appreciate it. I really needed those words 💙
@@skyshark127 me too
look through the comments here.
you're not alone.
people want to help you.
even in the darkest days you're not lost, please reach out.
you're a person, with history and a future.
you are worth something.
i say this because at one time its what i needed to hear.
I tend to listen to your music whenever my mind is in a dark spot- primarily this one, "Always December," and "Never Ending Nightmare." It helps on so many levels every single time; I can cry, I can scream into a pillow, I can just... be human whenever I hear them.
I'm not one to talk about my issues, even briefly, with all of my friends and family, and sure as hell don't talk about it at work.
But that changed at work recently, and it shook me.
A few weeks ago, I went to work with little sleep due to a nightmare caused by PTSD (thanks, childhood trauma), and my big boss noticed that I was unusually quiet (I'm usually cracking jokes all day.)
Whenever I'm having a s**t day at work, or in general, I put headphones in and listen to CS because it helps me channel my emotions- and reminds me that I'm not alone.
So, my boss noticed that I was out of character and had headphones in, and pulled me aside to ask me what was going on. I tried to brush it off by saying that I was tired, not to worry, etc. But she saw right through it, and knows me well enough to know that I tend to use music to communicate because it tends to "explain" things better than my words do. She looked me in the eye, pointed at her ear, and asked "what song is it, Harp?" I finally managed to bite back enough tears to say "it's 'Invisible' by Citizen Soldier."
This amazing person, who used to scare the daylights out of me because she's this strong, badass woman that runs the place, pulled out her phone and said "I'm heading to my office now and will give it a listen. Just do what you can, okay? Listen to whatever you want or need to in order to keep yourself grounded."
I went back to work, still locked into your music. I finished the inventory and some cleaning, and organized my work area before my shift ended, and I felt much better overall.
Right before I left, she pulled me aside and asked how I was doing. I said that I was doing better, and she said "glad you’re doing better, Harp." I nodded and went to leave, and she gently stopped me, pointed at my wrist, and said "...hey, don't let the invisible demons from the PTSD, mental illness, concussions, and seizures lead you to add any more marks on your skin, okay? You're stronger than they are, and you're not alone." I didn't know what the heck to say, so I just nodded, thanked her, and headed home.
That alone is proof of just how powerful of an impact your music has for me, and now for those that are getting to know me. Thank you, CS. 💜
i know how you feel
To everyone reading this: I have been there. I understand, and I am praying for you. Hang on, because there are people who care for you, if you would look past the sneers and looks of pathetic sympathy. God loves you.
"I have told you these things that in Me you may have peace. For in this world you will have trouble, but take heart; I have overcome the world."---John 16:33
This song is hitting so hard tonight.. I’m struggling so much it feels like the world is crumbling around me and I feel like my fight is failing… I’ve been so disconnected from everything even reality that I feel I already lost… this song is already helping me not feel so alone and like I haven’t fully lost yet even tho I’m feeling extremely hopeless…
Another amazing song by an amazing band! Thank you so much!
Hi, you're not alone, we're a Citizen Soldier family here and we've got your back. What you wrote is verbatim how I felt when I first heard "If These Scars Could Speak". Just remember there isn't much that lasts forever, seasons change. :)
We hear you friend 💜 Glad the music helps. Stay strong
Thank you guys! 💚
Stay strong my friend. They're will be highs and lows. I'd suggest you listen to Just Like You by NF there is a line "it's the lows in life that makes you cherish the highs" ( or something along those lines) he's just like them and writes raps about the real life (I mean his music is labeled NFRealMusic). He does it all without swearing. His music helps me along with Smash into pieces and citizen soldier.
@@ARC-0606 yeah I've listened to NF before that guy is cool tho I don't think I've listened to that one I'll check it out. Thank you for the suggestion!
I’m active duty army and I want to thank you guys your music it what’s getting me through this deployment
As a Borderline person, depressed, lesbian, broken and rejected human being.... I can certainly say MY DEMONS ARE INVISIBLE!!!
Thank you CS 💜 for this masterpiece!!
Wow. Every song is like someone is looking inside my head & soul and finally says the things that I didn't know how to say.
Im so exhausted, I'm so glad I've found your music ❤
Glad you found us 💜
"I painted a picture of a creature so ugly that lives here in me" I feel that talks about the effort I put in trying to express what I have to live with, and still I think the picture will never get enough realism to depict my inner demons. I think they are very hard to express, a couple of weeks ago I had to talk with a psychologist from my school, and I wasn't able to say everything I felt, it was like my invisible demons were making me cry to keep myself quiet about them, they've been causing me so many episodes of anxiety and depression, and the last two times I wanted so badly to cut myself because of that, luckily I just made a simulation of the harm I wanted to cause myself with some of my red painting and a red pen, but I still felt bad about myself and scared for when I might go from simulation to reality. This song really express the suffering I feel just by living with the suffocating hell inside myself, so thank you citizen soldier, you guys don't even know me and still, you can say everything I feel, even when I can't say it💛
Citizen Soldier, I am your biggest fan. I am deaf but your special effects with subtitles in the video help ME get through my mental health. I attempted suicide 5 times and was hospitalized a few times in the month of November 2021 and your videos got me through! as well as Adele's new lyrics... both you and her got me through the grief of losing my ex-boyfriend who left me due to my mental health.
I have a tattoo that says "this too, shall pass"
keep it coming.. please stay with the special effects with subtitles it helps me and I will continue sharing your videos with my deaf friends and family!
I'm a person who have passed through a lot and so much abuse, abuse of any kind actually, you guys with your music, you always makes me feel that I'm not alone in this battle, a battle that I have been fighting alone by myself, you have helped to fight and get better when I have my anxiety attacks, I love you so much♡♡♡
This song is depression and sadness expressed through words that I didn't know how to say before. Thank you for making this feeling accessible to the people on the outside. It makes me feel lighter, knowing that I can show people this, with the hope that they'll understand who I am and how I feel.
To Citizen Soldier
Hi, I’m 14 years old and I have been with you for a year now and you have been the second-best thing that had happened to me after my family. When I ever felt down your music would always make me feel better again.
I came to know you by the song ‘Would anyone care’ and it was five days after ‘I’m not okay’ came. ‘Would anyone care’ is now on my top three songs of all time. After I heard the emotional song, I checked your channel out and listen to the other songs you have released. Every one of them made me feel sad but happy that someone else out there feels the same as me. (Not that I want anyone to feel that way though).
Every song you had released after I came to listen to your songs were all so perfect. They all had touched my heart because every song is something similar to what I have experienced, what I want to do or what I truly feel. And the fact that you release so many songs so often I amazing. Other artists can’t begin to compare against you. But that fact made me realize that how often you release those songs that something has or is happening, because other people that don’t have the experience that we have felt can’t write songs like this that touch the heart of who have. (Or if it’s not I'm sorry).
I have a wish that you could make possible, but if you don’t want to its ok as well because every song you have made is a masterpiece. The wish is could you make a song that has the title ‘It’s okay to cry’’ or ‘’Let it all out’’. I know it’s hard to make a song only from a title believe me I've tried but you chose what you want to do.
You have been my favorite band since the second I heard your song. Keep on the good work and touch the hearts of others that have it like this. You’re a rising star only to grow higher and higher into the infinity. I really appreciate the things you have done and I want to say one thing: ‘’Thank you’’.
I like the idea of them making a song from those titles. I can definitely see Citizen Soldier yet again pouring out what so mean of us can't find the words for. I often get words circling in my head so I find myself searching for songs with phrases or stories around the words that are almost visible too me.
@@megandaymon8805 I feel and do the same. Thank you for commenting. Appreciate it.
i've missed your guys music, you guys always know how you get me out of my pit of dispare and depression, thank you all for what you do to make this music possible. love you guys (helps with mentally preparing for school)
Hope things get better. Much love 💜
I could go on about a bit of my life struggles that this song awakens from within my faded memories.. But instead I'll just say this: you're worthy of all the good life offers. You're not alone despite the darkest of thoughts they make you think. You can reach out, past their silhouetted grasps, to find a hand that'll hold yours. Keep going. Your light is strong and your fire is wild. Straighten your back, relax your jaw, ease off yourself. When the dark days come face them. You are in control. You will win. You can win. You have won before because you're here again. So win again. Light your fire and win again.
My parents ignored and didn't believed me as I told them about my demons and that killed me. I'm glad to have friends who are always there for me and you fellas ❤️ because of you I can put my feelings in words
After getting my second surgery yesterday, this song has been an encouraging reminder to me that everyone goes through difficult times and not everyone may know about them. But regardless of those tough moments I can push through knowing that, and I fully believe things will get better because of it. Whoever takes the time to read this, things will be ok, never give up on yourself and push through those hard times. Someone will surely have your back and I will too. You can do it, you are all worth it and you are all amazing people!
On a side note, amazing music as always citizen soldier, I look forward to your next powerfully encouraging song!
I may not be suffering as bad as most people in out world, but this song has hit a whole part of me that I have tried to forget and act like it was never there. Most of your songs hot so many bases at home, you guys are absolutely amazing! Please keep going, and please never give up!
💜
This is good for you. Trust me. Nothing wrong with not suffering, anyone who says different, never lived in suffering.
Everyone who has commented on this video. Everyone now knows about your demons so they are no longer invisible. Keep on fighting, you *will* get through this :)
Another masterpiece!
💜
This song and many like it are why I am a diehard fan of yours. As someone with autism and ADD, this speaks to me. I was always treated like I was normal, and never got the help I needed when I needed it. But this music speaks to me and reinforces my desire to help others like me. You guys are helping me through nursing school.
Heck yes!! This was absolutely spectacular!! You guys are the best!! I can’t wait to see what you create next!!
More on the way Kindra 💜
I have lived with Multiple Sclerosis since 2007, and I as officially diagnosed with depression in 2011. This song hits on so many levels. I love the entire album, but this song brings out so much emotion when I’m driving and singing it at the top of my lungs. Absolutely amazing.
I also have MS. Have had the diagnosis for little over a year now. Cried so hard when I listened this song. It's so emotionally draining when everyone thinks I'm overreacting when I'm so dizzy I can barley walk. Because I look fine but in reality everything is spinning and I'm nauseous as hell. Or when I have so much fatigue it physically hurts to open my eyes because I'm so tired and I have to just sleep all day. I love all Citizen Soldier song but this one hits differently.
As someone with high functioning autism this song speaks to me because for the most part my autism is “invisible to everyone else”except for me and people think that high functioning autistic people are normal but it’s not true in the slightest we try to hide our autism till it all comes out at once that’s why we have rage fits is because we try to hide it so well that we can’t hide it anymore.So if you know someone who’s high functioning please talk to them and try to give them a helping hand just by talking to us we crave social interaction almost as much as everyone else does.
Your music is a Godsend--literally. Every time I'm exhausted and overwhelmed by loneliness (especially if my chronic illness is flaring) your music helps me out of it. Can't wait for more songs from you!
I couldn’t even finish listening to this song without crying. I cried for hours. I don’t know why it triggered me so bad. But if I know one thing it’s that this song is AMAZING and put together so beautiful.💕
My family has been affected by a lot of mental illness, so I can relate to these songs on a close level. Music can be an outlet for me, especially when I am feeling stressed. Also, your songs give me inspiration when writing, because they fit in so well with my main characters and their struggles. Keep being amazing, you are one of my favorite bands.
I hope you guys know how much you help out people that struggle with your music.. The music itself is amazing but the texts have so much meaning and you can really connect to them. Listening to Never good enough on repeat helped me through quite a lot of difficult days.
If there is something like a heaven be sure that you will have a special place in there
“ MY DEMONS ARE INVISIBLE “
Thanks guys for another song that touches my soul…. Without your music and songs I’m sure I’m existing would have ended long ago. Congratulations on another price of soul touching work, love you guys
Always feeling bullied by my own self always saying he will take care of everything that I'm weak and pathetic it's not easy fighting him and i feel I'm regressing back falling back into a victim by those i thought was my friend back to this horrible pain soon it will be my memories haunting me again until i am no more it's like I'm falling back into that deep dark abyss and it scares me it took me over 2 years to finally get out of that horrible place i don't want to drown again maybe Joshua is right maybe i am weak he is strong and i am weak and then my dad verbally abused me everything he's ever said to me just runs in my head on repeat 🥺 I'm burning and freezing at the same time
This song just hits with me i closed my eyes and just listened everyone always fight a war from within just glad i am not alone in this struggle you keep me strong Citizen Soldier your songs always will be dear to me ❤ 🙏 bless you all 🥺🙇♂️for everything
If you're partner is doing this to you I'd advise calling the hotline for domestic abuse. It won't be easy to leave but with help from professioprofessionals and others you will be able to leave
Not my partner homie a personality
When I'm in my dark place (which is often), I've started opening up RUclips and playing every Citizen Solider song and have a good cry and/or yell and then I feel the hope and it gets better.
Thank you, Citizen Solider for being my music therapy. You've saved my life more then a few times and I recently found out you do the same for my 16 year old daughter. Thank you for getting it, singing about it and sharing it. I can't be the only one who relies on your music to bring hope and feelings of not being alone in this mind war we gothrough.
Every night , when im depreseed , i switch off the light and start my citizens soldier playlist. I just one to say thank you so so so much . I would have died with out your songs. They put my pain into word and helps me3 through the night. As a 13 year old , it is really hard to deal with depression alone , and your songs are my only companions in my dark times. Thank you.
As always it hits Home " no one knows because my scars never show", i just wanna thank you again for your work. I hope youre all doing well and are healthy as good it can be right now, keep it up youre helping a lot of people arround the world.
Greetings from germany ✌
I can't wait to scream this loudly when I'm alone and need to let off some pain! Thank you so much
Scream away 💜
Thank you so much for your music, you have no idea how much it helps me. I truly believe God led me here. Thank you for being so real with your lyrics. I really could use some prayers.
I know I heard this about a month ago but the visual add so much. Another masterpiece.
💜
Why does this give me relentless vibes. 10/10
💜
Literally just in the feels, makes me feel like someone relates! Awesome track can’t ask for much better
💜
wow bloody brilliant song so so true no one ever sees the pain or scars inside another brilliant song thankyou guys
I love this song so much when I saw this video came out I was so excited 💜💜 I think everyone battling mental illness or even some chronic illness can relate to this song. Amazing
Thank you. As someone who fights this fight. It's comforting to have you put my suffering into song.
It's so awful having med staff or people blame weight for my suffering and so comforting to be validated by med who see beyond that to what actually is going on.
I have learned to be mostly ok with not being the same n having less energy, more pain and having to adapt to bad days.
So incredibly grateful for you and those who understand.
Virtual hugs to my fellow fighters who live like i do. You are all strong and amazing even when you do not feel like it!!!!
Oh god, I feel this. I was diagnosed with depression a few days ago. And I know that I had it for a while. And I know...that I can't tell my family about this. Because they don't believe this decease is real. I know they're gonna make fun of me or get mad, because I'm using "excuses" to "be lazy"
So yeah, this song speaks to me. Thank you for making it
We hear you friend 💜 You're not alone
Another fine addition to my collection
Perfect Masterpeace.
💜
Waiting in line to meet my psychiatrist while listening to your songs.. makes the anxiety under go & make it bearable cause your music shuts the world out for me & its me & you who understand me...
I love you guys sooo damn much..
Is it just me or you guys are getting better song by song? Every single time
Without a doubt, Jake has enjoyed every letter, Video and Music that comes out of this platform since Let It Burn was released. keep growing a lot ♥
Unexpected surprise for sure, but a welcome one indeed. Well done, everyone.
Good to know 💜
Your music kept me company when I was at my lowest. It's sad that I can't no longer directly feel the songs but they remind me that I'm better now. Keep doing what you are doing, it has helped so many people including me
I love how every song touches my soul and understands me more than people around me. 😭. Another masterpiece indeed.
💜
The more I hear from CS the more I believe it's honestly impossible for them to put out a bad song. This is incredible as always!
AHHHHH ONE OF MY TOP 3!!!!! 💜💜💜💜 CAN'T STOP BLASTING IT SINCE YOU RELEASE THE RECORD GUYS!!! I LOVE IT!
Much love 💜
Another amazing song!!!
My demons are invisible, but the more abuse I experience, the stronger my demons become, taking me down slowly. It feels like my entire existence is invisible to my family, nobody ever believes me when I try to express how bad my mental health is, and just ignore me. Soon enough they'll regret, whether because I killed myself, or because I left my family and won't talk to them, their choice
Your music speaks VOLUMES. Fantastic!
For YEARS I could never find a song or band that understood what emotions I had been going through. Nearly every single y'all have just hits home. Thank you for making music that so many can relate to. 💛
Definitely sharing this song on my social media. 100% true love you guys always doing songs that people need to hear to get them through.
I hope you guys are okay yourselves? Much love ❤️
These songs are ✨chefs kiss✨ 💙💙
Thanks Leonor 💜
Always fantastic quality of music and video and deep hiting the heart emotional music. Another fantastic song and job.
I finally broke down and bought my first piece of merch from y'all last night! It is going to be a Christmas present to me. I found y'all back when you first began, so I am an OG fan!! I wanted to breakdown earlier when your purple t-shirt was in stock. I had it and the my story isn't over with a ; ready to checkout, but problem is I never went through with the checkout item process. I did miss out on the purple t-shirt, but I did however get the my story isn't over with a ;. It is on it's way now. I wanna thank y'all because I was/am coming outta some of the darkest places in my life. I didn't delay on y'all's music I give it a listen as soon as it becomes available. Big shout-out to Citizen Soldier for all the feels!!!
I follow you since 2014 and i loved every single song that came out, your voice is special and the lyrics can be related to.. You deserve more fame you guys been born for greatness 🙏🏼
Thanks for your continuous support 💜
No one seems to realize... My deepest scars lie UNDERNEATH, not on top.
THis is a masterpiece, you guys are amazing, thank you for all the amazing music.
This one I loved. Instantly went into my top 3 from the recent album, right after "Always December" and "Stronger Than My Storm"
Thanks for the feedback 💜
Citizen soldier, so deep
I love it, it's so awesome, I sent this to my friends and they all relate to it like me 💙💙💙💜💜💜
Thanks for sharing it Charlie 💜
Your music is able to reach a part of people that is buried so deep it can't be free. I haven't felt such a relation to music since I first discovered NF, and I can say for a fact your music says what SO many wish they could say, but keep it so far down in fear. *Your an inspiration and a savior during my anxiety attacks and when I just feel so alone and wanna quit.* My own experience is, music is the only way to someone's soul. Not the soul we think if, but the soul we feel. *Thank You.*
Hell yeah another new Citizen Soldier song and it is awsome!!
Wow. Just wow!! This is my entire life in another exceptional song from Citizen soldier. Thank you so much. These songs are empowering and, help me gain insight
God, I'm going through a depressive episode rn and this song explains exactly how I feel
Hope things get better 💜
Chronic illness, mental health...some days I don't know which is worse. Then there are the days they both make their presence loudly known.
Another masterpiece by my favorite band! You guys are awesome!
💜
I love these songs, so so much.
I've got a secret that just might kill me
It's tucked in deeply in my head
I keep it quiet so you won't hear it
So much abuse for what I leave unsaid
This is life or death
You can't see it yet
It's not make-believe
It's so real to me
Underneath my skin
And it always wins
My demons are invisible
My demons are invisible
No one knows
'Cause my scars never show
And no one believes me
My demons are invisible
My demons are invisible
I painted a picture
Of a creature so ugly that lives here in me
I pulled back the curtain that hid this nightmare
But you only saw what you wanted to see
Underneath my skin
And it always wins
My demons are invisible
My demons are invisible
No one knows
'Cause my scars never show
And no one believes me
My demons are invisible
Living in a world so invisible
'Cause you don't wanna know
I am innocent, my blissful ignorance
Leaves me here all alone
My demons are invisible
It's underneath my skin
And it always wins
My demons are invisible
My demons are invisible
No one knows
'Cause my scars never show
And no one believes me
My demons are invisible
My demons are invisible
My demons are invisible
Gotta say, the band has beats I like, great vocals and literally the ONLY GROUP with songs that are nearly as they were written for me! That is not ego talking, just wow... I relate to so many & they've helped me during panic attacks, deadly OCD rituals, fear, etc. Out of my 35 years on this Earth I've yet to find a group better than Citizen Soldier.
They're my favorite group, especially with relatable lyrics.
I was literally so down and y'all uploaded this truly amazing timing thank you for making such amazing music love u guys sm!!!!!
So many people feel invisible because mental illness leaves no physical scars. Thank you for writing songs that make us feel less alone, God bless you 🙏❤
It’s like my mind just got laid out and read aloud 🖤 amazing as always 🖤🖤
Thanks Jessie 💜
@@CitizenSoldier 🖤 No, thank YOU 💜
Your songs really help me
curing my own anxiety by just listening to your music day by day, thanks anaway ...
YESSS ANOTHER SONG!! I’m so excited. Thanks Citizen Soldier!
💜
I jus't can have a word for this, I''ve been listening to you for 2 years now. You have became my favorite music group, thank you for everything, the feelings you put in your songs are indescriptible.
Damn i never get tired to hear your songs I mean is litteraly like I'm seeing a part of me in each of your songs but you guys manage to say the words that i am not able to say
Honnestly thank you 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Appreciate those words Allan 💜
Honestly, I discovered you through a friend of mine, and I can say that I seriously thank her. You're great Citizen Soldier, every single one of your songs is gold to me
Ever since i found citizen soldier with the first track i listened to "would anyone care" there was something about it that really connected with me. Then hand me down came along and really spoke to me feeling like i felt unwanted in a relationship i tried to rekindle. In the end i decided to stop trying to contact them because it just wasn't worth it anymore. Then the album comes out and invisible was the one track i was looking forward to hearing and no words can describe how powerful it is to me. Battling my mental health demons especially after surviving the manchester bombings in 2017 with a lot of mental trauma that still affects me to this day. That combined with my autism as well makes it even harder to succeed in life.
I relate to these lyrics on a spiritual level
I live and work around people that refuse to acknowledge anything other than intense physical pain, and it's so exhausting trying to get people to see that it's just easier to put on a fake smile and pretend like you aren't dead inside because you don't want to burden them and ruin their day.
You guys! This song! Everytime a new song comes out, I'm preparing to get ready for an emotional load of feelings, but this time I was overjoyed and happy to listen to this song. It sounds weird right? How heavy this song is I got happy. I resonate with alot of your songs especially this one. But this song lifted my darkness and my chest is relieved and lighter. I don't know why but yeah I'm suprised but also serious, so yeah good song! I will make art about it !! Looking forward for your new releases! I really love you guys not only the songs which I also love btw xD
Another beautiful song I m with you more than 2 years and yours songs always help me in hard times. Love you guys
This is an amazing piece of art!
Thank you so much for writing this! It is one of the most relatable songs I have ever heard!
I’m not sure of your personal meaning behind it but for me it represents living with ADHD and the spectrum and how I have to cope with society as whole and how they treated me!
I have been cast aside so many times in my life and let down by so many people I loved simply because they could never understand the demons that live inside of me! Not from the Spectrum itself but because of the of the way I have had to try to hide it and pretend like I was “normal”! The scars that leaves behind built up a rage inside that sometime just can’t be controlled and in those moments, that when I usually resort to self isolation to protect my own sanity and that of those around me!
So thank you again!
You guys are incredible!
Keep up the good work!
I will forever be a fan!
You guys are really the voices for the people who struggle. ❤❤ You speak for those of us who feel we have to hide in the shadows and stay silent. Thank you for giving us a voice.
Your songs are always so relatable and awesome, they are just better one after the other. Just like SWARM, it helps my creativity when I'm drawing.
Glad to hear that 💜
As a medically retired Paramedic who is dealing with PTSD (the reason I was medically retired), you have climbed into my brain and given my thoughts words. I don't have the words to thank you all properly but you give me hope.
