Citizen Soldier Icu Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You've been hurting in a million ways
No one else can see
'Cause no one took 'em serious
Till the injuries

[Pre-Chorus]
So you took it out of God's hands and into yours
And threw up the prescription on the bathroom floor
You didn't wanna hurt no more
[Chorus]
I see you
Crying in a gown that's blue
Screaming through a breathing tube
„How'd I get to this place?“
I see you
Wondering how you came unglued
Feeling like your whole life's screwed
„Who could love me this way?“
You couldn't hear a single word they said in that padded room
When every day all of your darkest thoughts kept on coming true
Lying in the ICU

[Verse 2]
You've been carving maps into your skin
To make the sickness show
A kind of suffering that's never fit
A diagnostic code

[Pre-Chorus]
So you pictured all the faces when they'd hear the news
Thought your body in a bag would be enough to prove
That this was real and not some sad excuse

[Chorus]
I see you
Crying in a gown that's blue
Screaming through a breathing tube „How'd I get to this place?“
I see you
Wondering how you came unglued
Feeling like your whole life's screwed
„Who could love me this way?“
You couldn't hear a single word they said in that padded room („Hey kid, are you okay?“)
When every day all of your darkest thoughts kept on coming true
[Bridge]
I see you trying not to cry
Just wishing you had not survived
But don't give up, give it a little time
Some day you'll see that you were worth this fight
I see you wide awake all night
A million prayers, not even one reply
But don't give up 'cause there's another side
And you still have a lot of songs to write

[Chorus]
I see you
Crying in a gown that's blue
Screaming through a breathing tube
„How'd I get to this place?“
I see you
Wondering how you came unglued
Feeling like your whole life's screwed
„Who could love me this way?“
You couldn't hear a single word they said in that padded room
When every day all of your darkest thoughts kept on coming true
Lying in the ICU
