I feel like giving up....

Instead of raising the volume of your vocals i would try to lower the volume of the rest. Thats probably the best thing you could do if your mixdown is already good.
 
What frequencies are the vocals at? Try boosting like 8K+...have you tried adding saturation? This tends to brighten things up a bit. Also, mess around with the width of the sound. You may want to bring it closer to around 50-75% as this will put it more in the middle of the mix (depending if that's what you're looking for). This should also give you some head room
