Victim or Survivor Songtext
von Citizen Soldier

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
