She became engulfed in her solitude
Lost in her darkness
Emptied of expectations
So
She drank to fill her sorrows
Of yesterday’s today’s and tomorrow’s
She liked the way it burned her throat and numbed her senses
The liquor made her forget for a while
It occupied the void they left
When she was drunk everyone liked her
Cause she no longer had to hide behind her introvert
Hennessy was her therapist
With each sip she regurgitated oceans of repressed memories

Victim or Survivor
TW: Mention of self harm and suicide attempts I'll preface this article with I have never listened to any other songs by Citizen Soldier. I had never heard of them until I found out from an Icon for Hire stream where they told fans about an "upcoming collab," being with Citizen Soldier. As soon as I saw that it was on Spotify, I listened to it over and over... And over because of the lyrics.
