    I remember describing this band to a friend. The best way I could do that was explain that the music acknowledged that the listener was dealing with things and the music was essentially reassuring the listener that they’d be able to get through with their issues and suffering with them. This song nails that home.

    This made me bawl my eyes out. Never has a song ever really struck that helpless feeling you have when you're stuck there in your own head, being forced to live and stay around. When all you want is to quit fighting. When all you want is to finally have a restful sleep, even if that sleep is one you would never wake up from again. At least the exhaustion, the hate, the pain would go silent. Especially if during recovery you have to stay with the very ones that drove you to that point to begin with because no one believes you when you tell them the pain in your very soul from all the horrible things they've said and done. Seeing the disappointment in their eyes because they don't take any responsibility, they just think their child is a failure of a person, waste of skin.
    God this hit to my core. Thank you. I needed this cry.

    I've not completely healed, but recovering your metal health is a long process. A long process that is absolutely worth it.
    It's really true that when you're on the ground, everything gets better.
    You can cry or climb. It's all on you, but staying and fight is ALWAYS the right choice.
    Trust me, it always gets better.

      Oh god, you really are a teenager, aren't you. Lucky... Go be young and forget about trying to help anyone. No one can truly help anyone else. And people that can't help themselves like me are just screwed. I've literally had professional therapists and medical doctors give up on me. I even broke their spirits with what is inside of me. And I didn't even scratch the surface. There is only one logical solution left to me, and I'm just too full of self-pity and fear to do it. The only way out is to remove myself from the equation. I guarantee I'd break your spirit if you tried to help me. I'd infect you with the sickness inside of me until it took you over completely. I'd bring you down to my level and there'd be nothing you could do to stop it. I've watched it with everyone I've ever loved and everyone that ever tried to help me. That thing inside of me is so evil and full of pain and hate and rage and despair that nothing can stand in its way. It destroys everything in its path. I just keep staying alive because I'm too addicted to alcohol and drugs, and I'm addicted to hurting myself any way possible. I keep pushing it at far as I can without dying each time, be it with drugs/alcohol or physically hurting myself. Each time I get closer, each time I feel more pain, each time I crave the pain and suffering even more than ever before. It got so bad I had to start hurting other people to make myself feel that pain I crave. Once I'm completely numb and can't hurt anymore or get high anymore I'll finally kill myself and remove the blight of my existence from this world. It will be a much better place for it. You don't want to meet what is in my head, I promise. You'll never be able to feel ok ever again. The beast feeds on pain and my pain no longer satiates him anymore. He needs the pain of others now. Get away while you can.@@brightclaw7187

But things could change and they will only if you see that the fact that you are alive proves that you have enough strength to keep fighting and when you start to believe in yourself, you'll realize that there is something left for you and also that we find the most valuable things for us in the darkest time of our lives

My family has always had trouble unstanding my problems that they think is just an exscuse to get attention. 2 years ago I thought that I was better dead than alive. I was considering ending it all until I got a text from my best friend. She asked if I was ok because I sent her a text saying goodbye and that I would always love her no matter what. When I didn't respond to her text she called me. For the first time that day I didn't feel like ending it all. When I told her how I felt we talked for hours and right before we got off the phone she recomened your music to me. She told me that no matter how much I tried to fight the fact that I can relate to the lyrics I'll listen to them and I wont feel the way I did and she was right. I've been listening to your music since that day and it has helped me get through some of the darkest times in my life. Thank you for doing what you do you have helped so many people. You have helped us feel not alone and that we are loved no matter what were going through.

    The first time I heard this song I was reminded of my father who died Nov. 12 this year. This song brought back images of him in the hospital with a bunch of tubes and wearing a blue gown and padded cotton boots for his feet. He couldn't speak because of his breathing tube but I knew in his last moments he was happy to see me after 3 or 4 years. Even now this song makes my throat tighten up and my eyes sting. I broke down the first time and that's never happened before from any other song. A lot of your guy's songs came close but this one got me hard and I love it even more because of it. It's good to cry. Let yourself cry, if not for someone, let it be for yourself.

In general, the greatest, the ultimate, song out of every others to have ever existed, and I am so glad this came to me at the right time, when I am just piecing my broken life back together - university is stupidly difficult.
    As for the context of Citizen Soldier alone, this was the second-best song, after Let It Burn. Finally, something surpassed Would Anyone Care!

    Jake, how do you and your band always know what I need to hear, right when I need to hear it? December is always the worst part of the year for me, and this song coming out just before hand,; it helps me see that the dark doesn't have to win. Through your ability to tell your story, to show people that not being ok all the time is ok. I'm sure there will come a time in my life, when I won't feel like I'm fighting a losing battle wit myself. Thank you, for giving words to the feelings. Thank you.

Your music helped me a lot, it also makes me cry a lot because I finally feel like someone understands me and hears me screaming silently. There were many times I wanted to end it but then I found your songs in my Playlist and simply listened to them and it helped me, it gave me strength to continue fighting. Thank you for being the way you are and for touching me with your music, Citizen Soldier. ♥️

As a SA and DA survivor, I struggle with anxiety, depression, and feeling like some days not being here and it has helped me so much listening to this band and with the support of friends and family. I absolutely love the ICU album and I am so thankful for you guys and what you do ❤

    This song it was hard. In June of 2009 I woke up in the ICU after attempting to leave this world. I thought I was doing everyone a favor because I was such a burden on everyone, I couldn’t just snap out of it, and I felt like the darkness would never end. Now here I am so many years later and a mother to an amazing little boy. I struggle with those old thoughts lately, but never once have I considered leaving my son without me. God blessed me with this miracle and I love him with my whole heart and being.

    1:32 Hit me hard. I mean, your songs usually do. Knowing I've thought about how my family would react if I did something that can't be taken back makes me feel so bad. Now I'm a bit better than even 2 years ago, but it's hard to try become a "normal" adult, when all your life you've been exposed to things no child or anyone should be exposed to. A few days ago I turned 18, legally an adult, which I thought I could or would never become.

    You truly don't understand that state of mind unless you've been there. The music you guys produce is such a fantastic road map to acknowledge how you feel in that place, and get a helping hand to start climbing out at the same time. When I describe this band to others I can't help but say this feels like a spiritual successor to Linkin Park. It's an incredibly brave thing to put your heart on your sleeve within the music, but I, along with many others, are so grateful you have the courage to do so. You've somehow given a voice to the buried feelings that usually exist beyond words for so many. Thanks again!

    When I was a teenager in the ER I had an LCSW who was there with me and saw me. I survived and though my journey has been long, hard and full of near misses, and it will always need to be medicated due to genetics. I'm in a better stable place in my head. So much so that I have only a few months left until I finish my MSW degree and enter the field as a therapist for teenagers just like I used to be. I was seen and I will be there to see others so that maybe one of them will end up being there to see someome else in the future.

    Hi Jake! This is going to sound dumb because this is *your* story, but my best friend sent this to me the moment it came out because literally two days before I almost threw my life away. I would've done it, no questions asked. But she gave me enough hope to hold on for a little longer. I'm not sure how long that's going to last. But this song is way too accurate and fit even my life's story. And although I'm not seeing reasons right now, I'm glad you stayed Jake. You saved my best friend more times than I could count. I wish you knew just what it means to me that you can keep her here. I'm truly grateful for you and the band for everything you do. I hope you have an even better next year! Love you endlessly.

Jake, I am beyond grateful that you survived and are here man. This songs are honestly my guiding light. I aspire to be someone like you. You are a hero in my eyes. You gave a voice to the kid hurting inside. You gave a way to fight all the "metaphorical demons". Not just for me, for so many more. Btw, love that "You took it out of God's hands and into yours". Sometimes when we are hurting and no one, not even God, seems to listen, all we have left is to take matters into our own hands (hopefully to better things, not just end it all). Thank you, and thanks to all the band really. You are saving lives. I can say that much. This matters so much. Words can't express. Thank you! 🖤
