Icon For Hire
Victim or Survivor
[Verse 1: Jake Segura]
I've got more skeletons than cemeteries hold
That 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

[Pre-Chorus: Jake Segura]
Until I saved my soul
With what I can control

[Chorus: Jake Segura]
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?

[Post-Chorus: Jake Segura]
(Victim or survivor)

[Verse 2: Ariel Bloomer]
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: Ariel Bloomer]
Boy, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not the victim
I'm the survivor

[Chorus: Ariel Bloomer]
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?

[Bridge: Ariel Bloomer]
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: Jake Segura & Ariel Bloomer]
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?
[Post-Chorus: Jake Segura, Ariel Bloomer & Both]
I'm not, I'm not, I'm not the victim
Victim or survivor?
You can make that choice or you can be your past
Victim or survivor?
