Citizen Soldier - If These Scars Could Speak Lyrics
Can you medicate me?
Can you feel my pulse?
I am too far to find me
I'm too numb to feel these broken bones
Staring from the outside
Makes it hard to see
Beneath my skin, I fight a war within
I fight a war within
If these scars could speak
(Speak)
You would hear my hell
(Hell)
And all the lies I use to save myself
If these scars could speak
You would know my pain
(Pain)
And all the demons hiding in my rage
If these scars could speak
All the stigma feeding
It sucks the life from me
Now I'm suffocating
All your expectations drowning me
Walls are closing in now
How will I survive?
Is it really over?
Tell me will I make it through the night?
Will I make it through the night?
If these scars could speak
(Speak)
You would hear my hell
(Hell)
And all the lies I used to save myself
If these scars could speak
(Speak)
You would know my pain
(Pain)
And all the demons hiding in my rage
If these scars could speak
Can you hear them?
Will you listen?
Can you hear them?
Inside of my head
I fight a war within
Will I make it through the night?
If these scars could speak
(Speak)
You would hear my hell
(Hell)
And all the lies I use to save myself
If these scars could speak
(Speak)
You would know my pain
(Pain)
And all the demons hiding in my rage
If these scars could speak

Found the band by venturing more into my bf's music genre. I don't regret doing it.

We love the people listening to us! Just want them to know and feel that is all :)

Also I love the fact that they take the time to reply to comments this is awesome 🖤🤟
Always. Every single person supporting us is incredible and they deserve to know that.
This music hits deep with me and to top it all off everytime I'm on YouTube I like to read the comments and seeing how citizen soldier comments on everyone's post shows that it's just about the music and the fans with them rather than the money
Relationships our everything to us. We love you guys and are inspired by you.
I can't stop listenin to the song & i don't download it so i can listen to it here after work & before it ... it just take me to another level of courage and i like it this way
Love to hear that! Glad you like it 🖤
This just showed up in my recommended videos. I love this music already, you have a new fan!
So glad you found us! Welcome to the family! Would love to hear what you think of our song let it burn :)
Citizen Soldier It’s a very powerful song that hits home in many ways for me. The lyrics are great and the song as a whole is beautiful. Your songs send a message while leaving an impact, and it makes it all the more worthwhile to listen to your songs, much like how I felt about Three Days Grace in the past, songs that convey so much and actually make you feel what they’re trying to make you feel.
It’s powerful stuff and I’m all in on it. You all do a great job and I can’t wait to hear more from you!
also, what i noticed it that the opening riff sounds kinda like hollywood undead's opening riff of california dreaming. ;^;
We will check that song out! Hope you enjoyed it!
@Citizen Soldier Thank you! i enjoyed this song any many other songs you guys have made! i can relate with these tree songs the most: If these scars could speak, Never Good Enough, And Weight of The World. i wish i could hear you guys on octane!
I’m pretty sure my scars would just say...
“Meow” “Bork”
Good to know 😂
*Sees Video*
*Curiosity*
*Clicks*
*_No regrets._*
Subbed.
Thank you so much. Honored to have you with us 🖤
How the absolute HELL have I not come across this band before?!?
This is Amazing!
Thank you so much! So glad you found us friend. Would love to hear what you think of our other song let it burn 🖤
Can I just thankyou CS for making this sort of music? It's easy to find music that sad, or depressing. It's much harder to find music that you can relate to. You've helped me, I just wish more could hear this. Wish those who need help had the courage to ask.
Thank you so much for this. You are very kind and we feel humbled and appreciated. Hope things get better for you friend. Hopefully more can hear it 🖤
Okay so like I have been having trouble with writing lately and this song gave me so much inspiration....THANK YOU! ♥️
So glad it could help inspire. Happy writing 🖤
As a veteran I felt this whole song to my core. It says alot that I can't say.
Thank you for your service. Hope the song helps you not feel alone in that feeling brother 🖤
This is legit so awesome!!
Thank you so much! 🖤🤘🏻
great song this text matches with me full thank u for creating it (:
You are so welcome. Thanks for checking it out 🖤
@Citizen Soldier np (:
Honestly, I was searching a song with lyric fitting to one character for a comic for my friend and Holy Hell, this suits even too much!
Totally my music, can't believe YT never showed me this!
So glad it works for your character! Thanks for listening 🖤
This is actually really good! I love it!
Thank you so much! Appreciate you 🖤🤘🏻
I instantly thought of one of my OCs when I heard this.
Hope you liked the song!
Im trying not to relapse into self harm again. And this song.. this song hits me so hard I love it. It helps me. You guys are amazing. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much. Be good to yourself. You deserve kindness. Sending love 🖤🤘🏻
I'm so glad sometimes YouTube's algorithm can do things right. This is amazing. And funny enough, youtube is surprisingly how I found all of my favorite bands. You guys are awesome and I hope you guys can take your dream far.
We will work hard to take it far! So glad you found us. Welcome to the family friend 🖤🤘🏻
I relapsed (cutting wise) on Jan. 4 of this year. I just now found this song and it's helping me by realization. Thank you
We all fall all the time. Keep getting back up. We’re proud of you. Sending love friend 🖤🤘🏻
His voice is something else 🤤🖤
Thank you! Appreciate you dear 🖤🤘🏻
I love you guys love the lyrics keep up the great work 😌😌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
We love you too! Thank you friend 🖤🙏🏻
Its not our problems that cause us pain its the feeling that only you are feeling it
Well said. Thanks for checking out the song 🖤
This’ll be buried and never seen, but I just found this band and I feel like commenting bc I can. I had cystic acne that basically made me bleed everywhere on my upper body for over a year. Still have it sometimes to this day, but the scars I have all over my chest, back, shoulders, neck, and face give me the most incredible self loathing you could imagine. That’s not to mention that the medication I took to get rid of it completely destroyed my mental health and nearly caused me to go suicidal, plus during the worst of my treatment my best friend and girlfriend left me to rot. So the lyrics used here really resonated with me. If the scars I have everywhere on me could speak their story, it’d be the equivalent of demonic screeching and sobbing. So good on you for writing such powerful lyrics. I’ve binged you’re other works now, but this is easily my favorite. So many people feel worthless or damaged beyond repair, and I’d say I fall into that category too, so it’s amazing seeing someone who can put frustrating feelings like these into music and use those negative emotions in a positive way. Much love my dude
We read every word of this. What an incredibly difficult thing to go through. We admire you for getting through it and are so glad you decided to stay. Much love to you friend. Stories like this inspire us 🖤🤘🏻
@Citizen Soldier Wow, thanks for noticing me Senpai haha. But seriously, thanks, and keep up the great work
Why the fuck do I need a fucking fanfic to reccomend me this masterpiece?? Youtube step up your game 🙄🙄
So glad you found us! Thank you for taking a chance on the song friend 🖤🤘🏻
whoa . this is freaking awesome
Thank you so much! Appreciate you Becca 🖤🤘🏻
I don't know how I got here, but I am proud of it.
So glad you found us! Thanks for taking a chance on the song 🖤🤘🏻
Begining of the song sounds close to HU- Callifornia Dreaming (turn on 1.25 speed). But still this song is amazing
Cool! Thank you so much for checking it out! 🖤🤘🏻
I found you all today and I instantly subbed! You guys are great and this song speaks to so many people including me and if anyone needs someone to talk to I’m here to talk
Thank you so much! So glad you found us. Thanks for offering your kindness. Welcome to the family!
Citizen Soldier do you all have any shows coming up? I’d love to come support and meet you all and I’m glad to be a part of the family 😁
Hollywood undead's already dead is a tie with this, H.U.'s song is about not being pushed around. these songs are for the broken who have had enough. thank you for this song, I've been told my friend and I have fake depression, but what we feel is real, this song expressed my hurt from being told that over and over. thank you.
Being told that what you’re not feeling isn’t real is a terrible feeling. Hope things get better for you. Sending tons of love 🖤🤘🏻
You remind me of a mix between modern Godsmack and five finger death punch! Keep up the great work:)
Nice! Both very successful bands! We will take it. Thanks friend :)
Citizen Soldier You’re welcome😊
Yet again I’ve found a band that I’ve never heard of but I like them at the same time

It sounds just like breaking Benjamin

@Citizen Soldier Thank you, and same to you guys💜🖤
Happy New Year Citizen Soldier and thank you for all the lessons in your music .
Thank you for listening to them and for your kindness. Happy new year friend 🖤
Can you forge me
Can you temper me
Can you exalt me in the forge of life
Can you burn a fire that can melt this heart of steel
Would you go so far
Would you make haste to reach to me
Will you be me with as I am made
Will you bear with me my burdens, my battles and wars
Can you hold me
Can you hold me dearly
Can you see that I am true
Can you know that it is you and I...
Once again! Well written! Thanks for sharing 🖤

Interesting. Hope you enjoyed the song!
What I love about this song is that it speaks volumes for a lot of people for a lot of different reasons. Everyone's pain is different yet the same. Just subscribed, I'm not missing any of your music again.

These guys give me Ashes Remain vibes. I don’t know why.
Spitz never heard of them! We will check them out! Thanks!
Citizen Soldier They’re a great band. Their vocals kind of remind me of yours. I guess it’s that raspiness, which I really dig in rock music. Check out their most popular song “On My Own”.
Had to delete all my history to find a nice band
Khai Warrington hope you liked the song! Thanks!
I started listening to you guys after YouTube suggested it while I was listening to Starset. You guys rock. Plus since you are local here in Utah it is nice to support a local band.
Love to see someone local supporting us! We would love to see you at a show! <3
why are you so underrated holy cow this is fire 🔥
marija s you are too kind. Thank you so much 🖤🤘🏻
Why have only just found this band
So glad you found us. Welcome to the family. Would love to hear what you think of our song let it burn <3
The song is catchy but man...Devil in I - Slipknot, guitar riff in chorus rip off??
Thanks for checking out the song man!
Is this a new band? If not where have they been my whole life???
We are fairly new. Just a couple of years. Thanks for checking us out. Welcome to the family. <3
I'm really touched by this song and I would cry if I only could. @Sitizensoldier you are my favorite band now along with Breaking Benjamin and Starset
Dina Chaya Rubin it’s seriously an honor to be mentioned with those bands. Appreciate you friend. Much love to you 🖤
This band is dope af!
Thank you so much. Appreciate you <3
Now why the actual fuck did it take me so long to find this band??
These lyrics are so deep I love them since they are talking about both mental and physical scars but instead bringing down the mood, it empowers the listener. I absolutely love this song
So glad you found us. Welcome to the family. Thanks friend <3
@Citizen Soldier oh wow, I'm actually listening to this song on my laptop😂
And I'm ecstatic to be part of the fam now💕keep up the good work
This band has taken over my favorite band currently over skillet

The first song I heard was buried alive then I found other good songs by yall
Noah Fesperman appreciate that so much. Thank you 🖤
*this is a long paragraph about a little bit of my life
When I was 13, my grandfather committed suicide and left a note saying he was sorry to me and a few other family members. My family began to fall apart as my father became an alcoholic and my only sister, who’s older, began having severe anxiety attacks. She was placed in a psyche ward for suicidal mental health issues. When I was 16 she got out of mental hospital. Shortly after, her and my father got into a terrible fight which ended with her running away from home crying and told my dad she wished he died instead of my grandpa. My dad then said “I guess I’ll give her what she wants” and opens our gun safe in another room. I sprinted over in a panic as my mom cried in a corner of the home. I stood between my father and the gun as he tried to push me out of the way. My father is 6’4 250 lbs, I weigh 170 lbs. I don’t know how, but i felt a strength that allowed me to overpower him and tackle him to the ground as we lay crying. I looked him in the eyes and said “I love you, God loves you, don’t do this.” I then carried him on my shoulder to our family vehicle with my mom. Somehow, I found my sister and brought her home. 2 years later, my father slipping deeper into alcoholism tells me the most hurtful things everyday, and if I say anything back to him he’ll threaten to commit suicide. I drive to my sisters college 2 hours away on school nights to help her deal with overwhelming panic attacks. Then, one night, my father was completely black out drunk and his eyes were nearly black. He pulled a large knife and held me down as he put it to my throat. He says he is going to take care of me, then himself. I scream and push as hard as I can to get him away but he cornered me. I throw a baseball from next to my bed at him and he slips from being so drunk as I run out the door. I begin taking any prescription pill I can as my addiction slowly begins to overtake me. I lose my collegiate basketball scholarship which I worked my whole life for. I lose all my friends and my girlfriend. And my best friend betrays me and lies to save himself from something he did. I take 36, 30 milligram in 3 days. I collapse in the shower, my heart in agony and my body spasming. Somehow I survive the overdose without anyone knowing. Eventually, a loved one helps to get me into rehab. My parents visit me and my father had been sober for 2 months. He comes drunk and nobody noticed but me, I know because he is later forced to admit it. I panic because my mom is all alone but I can’t leave. After 2 months there, I find out one of my best old friends drowned in a freak accident. My counselor says I’m not allowed to go to the funeral unless I stay for another month which is ridiculously expensive. I’m broken, completely broken. I leave by force and go to see my old friend leave for good.
It’s been about 3 years since then. My sister is now a rich mechanical engineer and is healthy without medication. My father has been sober since he came to visit me drunk. I’m going to get my bachelors next fall and then pursue a masters in clinical mental health sciences. But I still suffer from PTSD, depression, and anxiety from everything but I’m able to hide it. I can never tell my father or family about the knife to my throat, it would crush us.
This life can be horrible, but it’s also beautiful. Be kind and love others and always work to become better. No matter what we go through, we can overcome it and become stronger because of it. Don’t let your demons own you. I don’t know how I’m still alive, I guess I’ll see what God has planned for me next. Please pray for me and I’ll pray the best for y’all, let’s let our scars build us up and become the change in the world we want to see.
Heydan we read every word of this. Thank you for sharing your incredible story. We are so inspired that you are going to give back to others who fight battles similar to your own. Much love and respect to you friend. 🖤🙏🏻
Am I listening to the song or is the song listening to me
Jo Murph now that is the question 😉
