Icon For Hire - You Can't Kill Us Lyrics
I swear to God at night when I close my eyes,
I can still see this little lost girl inside.
And I don't know how to help her, I don't know what to do.
Supposed to have this figured out but I'm so confused.
For years I cried myself to sleep every night.
And I knew people had it worse, but that didn't make me better.
Took all I had inside just to hold myself together.
But I knew I couldn't stop, kept hoping one day,
Maybe I'd make it to a stage and tell you it's all okay.
And that I love you. Even if I haven't met you yet.
Hold on, stay strong and never forget
We've been lost, been to the bottom.
Beaten up, torn and forgotten.
Still we fight, we will survive.
We've been burned, drained and depleted.
Left alone, we're not defeated.
Still we fight, we will survive.
Can't kill the fire we feel inside.
You can't, you can't kill us
You can't, you can't kill us
Everyday I felt a little less pain inside.
But at that rate I knew I'd hurt until the day I died.
I refused to let the darkness, have the last say.
So when it came to call my name, I had to run the other way.
Maybe that's what it takes, you have to tell the pain no.
Have to let the sick parts of your heart finally go.
Make room for the light, let it pull you in close.
And if you're ever feeling low, I think you know where to go.
We've been lost, been to the bottom.
Beaten up, torn and forgotten.
Still we fight, we will survive.
Can't kill the fire we feel inside.
We've been burned, drained and depleted.
Left alone, we're not defeated.
Still we fight, we will survive.
Can't kill the fire we feel inside.
You can't, you can't kill us
You can't, you can't kill us
One day we're gonna wake up, we're gonna be alright.
We'll look back and be happy that we kept ourselves alive.
We'll honor where we came from, see what the hurt was for.
But we don't let our past hold us hostage anymore.
Cause we got more to give, more to live, more to be.
More to who we are than our broken history.
Like an army we all know it's not all better yet.
But we hold on, stay strong, and never forget
You can't, you can't kill us
You can't, you can't kill us
We've been lost, been to the bottom.
Beaten up, torn and forgotten.
Still we fight, we will survive.
Can't kill the fire we feel inside.
We've been burned, drained and depleted.
Left alone, we're not defeated.
Still we fight, we will survive.
Can't kill the fire we feel inside.
You can't, you can't kill us
You can't, you can't kill us
You can't, you can't kill us
You can't, you can't kill us

Icon For Hire You Can't Kill Us Comments
It sounds like me I'm lost inside
i don't think i'm okay
2016: oh, pfft, just a small weird panic attack thing lol
2019: wait, why am i suddenly bitter at literally everything, and why am i randomly sad every now and then?
"Maybe that's what it takes, you have to tell the pain NO."
That part always makes me so excited. I have the need to hit something in zeal and raise my voice.
This song is honestly amazing. Thank you. It's really emotional and empowering.
You can't, you can't kill us. You can't, YOU CAN'T KILL US!!!
Teacher: what is the definition of hope?
Me: "You Can't Kill Us" by Icon For Hire!
Teacher: you trying to be funny?
Me: no, I am dead serious!
My girlfriend's parents kept us apart for nine months. It only hurt as bad as it did because i knew that if i was a boy, it would have been different.
I kept in mind how hard this band fought, and it helped me to do the same.
This band is one of the few reasons I'm alive today
I love this song sm
I hate it how you guys are so underrated :(
I'm sure that if the whole world knew you guys, your impact would change people's lives...please continue...the world needs you guys and your impact more than you think...love you guys 👏❤️
I... i think that i only felt what I'm feelimg right now with my favorite band (twenty one pilots) and I'm sure that this lyrics are gonna help me so much
this songs encourages me to keep fighting my depression
its like the female version of falling in reverse i love it
This song got me through a tough year. Thank you
You know, i've listened to this song many, many times. I've always felt this song as a powerful and empowering song. But i think i've always linked this song to strength through pain. Tonight was the first time i finally understood this as a positive song. I think this song for me finally represents strength OVER pain. Thank you Icon.
The emotion in her voice at 2:35 gives me goosebumps
Im getting STRONG Ronnie Radke rap stage vibes and Im here for it lol
My bestfriend introduced me to your music and it’s changed me for the better. You have some of the best lyrics ever in the history of all artists in this world.
I love your music
This is a song I try to remember when I feel like I can't go on much longer. Let's just say, my parents don't accept me or respect me. I try to remember that one day, I could get out of this mess, for all I know it could be next week in which I become free!
Alex B same
Imma be honest. This song makes me cry. Because i still live one day at a time. Cause all im trying to do is live. Ive lost 7 people who meant the world to me too suicide. But all my mum says is some people have it worse. And its a fight to wake up in the morning because i feel dissapointed that i woke up.
LordSauron 22 my aunt says punks commit suicide
Finals week can't kill us
The line "I know that others had it worse, but that didn't make me better." really hits me. Story time!:
For most of my life I had identified as female. But I knew that there were some things that were different about me. I was somewhat reckless, I hung out with more boys than girls, I could relate to boys problems more than I could relate to girls problems and I was also somewhat uncomfortable with female labels. I just thought that I was a really big tomboy. If you're wondering about the frilly dress stuff, I wore them, society brainwashed me into believing that I liked them.
Over time I began to dislike my body. I wasn't a huge fan of my boobs but I kinda liked my waist. Eventually, I discovered the term 'non-binary', I didn't quite understand at first, so I learnt it meant because I was curious, and then I discovered the label fit me perfectly. I was startled, but I began to like it quickly.
I decided to come out. It was okay the first time, but my mother forgot and it just got worse as I came out again. I hadn't checked to see if it was safe or not, now I feel that my mental health is in danger! I wish I could get some help, my dysphoria is bad, but I don't have a remedy except for the few gender neutral clothes that I own.
This song helped me. My parents won't get to me anymore! I will continue identifying with what I feel comfortable with!
I love you guys
u cant kill us
love the song & the album
"i knew people had it worse but it didnt make me better" i can relate 100% my life has been ×-×just horrible
Scripted is still no1. My favorite album
Get well 2, you can't kill us, under the knife are my fav in this album
Brilliant song and brilliant lyrics... what a great band.
Ariel We All Love You even if we haven't met you yet
I am like a huge icon for hire fan but in general i totally ship Ariel and Shawn like seriously guys
Oh my god! Thank you for showing me the reason to live! -and by that i mean listening to you while hiding in my room drawing all day and night...But seriously...Thank you!!!
Yesterday I heard this song the first time and I have to say this was the most empowering. <3
This song is everything. I can't wait for them to release new music. Though I love all there music still but after this album I can't wait to see what else they do
Honestly, I'm so glad I found ya'll when I did. I was having a really shitty time and your music to me is a godsend.
You guys are the ones I listen to the most when my days are bad because you all make better.
Thanks ya'll
great song :)
When I listen to this song, and I listen to the lyrics, I think about my life. Taking that step, the step I fear will never land, I am brave. I am helping myself, I am putting the pieces together one by one, I cannot give up. But my fear is asking me, what if it happens again? Won't we fall again? Isn't it just better if we lay down and not think of this? We can't solve the problem, we can't help anyone, we are stuck. We've always been stuck. What will change now? What has changed?
I did.
I am so afraid that nothing will help me that I just don't try in the first place. But I'm taking this step, I don't care if it's foolish, I don't care if I think I'll never make it. Since when did I think I would never make it? When did I give into fear? When did I decide not to try again? Even if I failed over 700 times, I would try again. I would try until I got it right. Even if I had to lay down for a little while before I tried again.
This isn't me. It's time to find me, and free me. Because me wasn't scared of her own uncertain future-she ran right for it.
I fucking love this album, and all of their music is amazing. It´s really been helping me push myself into recovery. Side note; this video was published on my birthday <3
Spoiler give Nobel price of maths to women plz? breizh my war illucyfer rage
this is embarrassingly terrible
🌹🎶
Then talk your way out
Half of the views is me. Seriously
Heard that song a while ago and shazamed it right away. I thought it would have couple of hundred millions views, since it's awesome, but...
Wow! Amazing album
U.u icon for hire
I really wish I could relate to ICH music but I can't. Stay Strong everyone!
Whew, this song gives me chills
I love this song ASDFGHJKL
It's been over a year and I'm still listening
How did it take me so long to find out about them
This song kicks ass
I'm in love with the raw emotion in this. In every song Ariel writes, she pours her heart and soul into it, and this is no exception. In every verse, you can hear her sing with such raw passion for the words she's saying. She sounds so legitimately scared in the first verse, yet it flows into the hopeful and determined words of the chorus. Or, in the last verse, you can hear her screaming the words in the background, sounding so desperate and passionate. That's what separates her from other singers: they sing screamo because that's what their genre is, or what their audience wants. They don't take risks with their style and don't tackle the same topics that IFH does. Icon, on the other hand, sings screamo because the human voice cannot contain the emotion that is being conveyed. They use whatever genre the song needs, and sing their heart out about things that matter to them.
I love you, Icon!
"army" Icon Army?!
Damn.. this song has so many feels. Totally can relate. 3
si me encanta esta siempre me inspira a dibujar :)
sigue con tu musica
There seriously aren't words for how hard this strikes home. Thank you again and again for finding the words. You are a gift to this world.
why this song is not in the album?
I love songs like this...Ssso honest.
I love this band because you can tell she feels the words. You can hear her pain every time she says the word. It’s incredible
Is Icon For Hire a heavy metal band or Alternative? Or something else?
Would be awesome to support you guys on tour some day!
Hopefully we'll see you out there.
Are they a couple?
Great job guys!!! #iconarmy
This songe makes me... yea... feel alive.
I mean this lyrics is killing it... i love it so much <3
Strong song abote life, i like it!
Hold on, stay strong, and never forget!
Icon for hire is one of the best!!
Who'd have the heart to dislike this?
Shawn has such glorious hair. I'm kinda jealous.
Touching my veins-
First two seconds and my heart is hammering so hard. Love this song, it really relates to my insecurity.
I hate the rap, but the chorus are amazing
disappointing album
good lyrics
This is seriously my theme song. Considering getting "you can't kill us" tatted on my arm.
I can't even begin to explain what this song means to me. The lyrics go so perfectly to every situation in my life.
Anyone else getting a Ronnie Radke - Fairweather fans vibe from this?
THIS IS WHAT IM ABOUT TO SAY TO EVERYONE WHO IS ABOUT TO PUSH ME SO FAR I KILL MYSELF
YOU CAN'T FUCKING KILL ME PEOPLE NOT ANYMORE IM DONE WITH IT IM READY TO FIGHT BACK YOU BITCHES
This was the song I need when I was twelve years old.
Holy shit
I love you guys.
"And that I love you, even if I haven't met you yet."
Best lyrics.
figense mano del hombre WTF
saying you should not be upset because others have it worse is like saying you should not be happy because others have it better.
where this rock in the sing :'v
I herd all of your songs. BIG FAN!!!!
this song and Fight from All Good things have the best lyrics in history
why isn't there a million thumbs up option?? this song is... i wish i coud give this album to my 13 year old self.
The lyrics are so genuinely true, i love this band , it hit me deeply inside that i cried like bitch
This may seem stupid but im just wonderin why dont you all create a game like the Nicki Minaj or more like the Katy Perry game on the tablet I mean but more like your own then?
I listen to your music when I am feeling down, it really helps me so thank you so much for creating these songs and for caring about your fans.
Don't you dare ever stop.
This song is seriously everything to me.
This is gonna sound cheesy AF but this band speaks to me
That song, somebody play it for me, when I need some sense knocked into me.
