Victim or Survivor

VERSE 1

I’ve got more skeletons

Than cemetery’s hold

No wonder living life

Feels like a funeral

The kind of traumatized

No one will ever know

That made me fantasize

About just letting go

PRE-CHORUS 1

Until I saved my soul

With what I can control

CHORUS

When it rains you can drown

Or you can be baptized

When you hit rock bottom

You can cry or climb

Crutch or a crown only you decide

Victim or survivor

Be born by the battle

Or just wave a white flag

Deciding not to die

That might be all you have

You can make that choice

Or you can be your past

Victim or survivor

VERSE 2

I got a story too

A cautionary tale

Thought I lost it all

I’ll spare you the details

So call me a victim

Like it’s self-inflicted

Put me in a prison

Don’t know any different

PRE-CHORUS 2

Boy

I’m not I’m not I’m not the victim

I’m the survivor

CHORUS 2

BRIDGE

I’m not I’m not I’m not the victim

I’m the survivor

I’m not I’m not I’m not the victim

I’m the survivor

I’m not I’m not I’m not the victim

I’m the survivor

CHORUS 3
