Victim or Survivor

I've got more skeletons than cemeteries hold They made just living life feel like a funeral The kind of traumatized no one will ever know That made me fantasize about just letting go Until I saved my soul With what I can control 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 Victim or survivor I got a story too, a cautionary tale Thought I lost it all spare you the details So call me a victim, like it's self inflicted Put me in a prison, don't know any different Boy I'm not, I'm not, I'm not the victim I'm the survivor 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 own past Victim or 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 I'm not I'm not I'm not the victim I'm the survivor 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 (All you have) You can make a choice or you can be your past Victim or survivor (I'm not I'm not I'm not the victim) Victim or survivor You can make the choice or you can be your past Victim or survivor
