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
