Not a Victim

I'll never be a victim I'm not a victim I've wasted half of my life Casting the best of my heart to the swine I was burned with my world on the line Almost lost it all in the wake of a lie I've been beaten and screamed at and shamed The ones who I loved put my guilt on display But if I can't grow from the pain A glance in the mirror will show who's to blame What can break me now? What can break me now? What can break me? Our fragile lives have been falling to pieces It's do or die: it's time to rise up or fade away Our fragile lives have been falling to pieces It's on tonight, so let's stand up and fight I'm not a victim I'll never be a victim I'm not a victim I could say I have more right than most 'Cause I spent ten years with a foot on my throat (But) I refuse to live on with these ghosts Or carry this weight everywhere that I go I could burden myself with their crimes And label my face with the filth of their lies Their claim to my soul is denied Abuses and violence aren't how I'm defined What can break me now? What can break me now? What can break me? Our fragile lives have been falling to pieces It's do or die: it's time to rise up or fade away Our fragile lives have been falling to pieces It's on tonight, so let's stand up and fight The ones you trust the most at times can make you feel so hollow But you don't have to let them take control The ones you trust the most at times can make you feel so hollow But you don't have to let them take control What can break me now? What can break me now? What can break me? Our fragile lives have been falling to pieces It's do or die: it's time to rise up or fade away Our fragile lives have been falling to pieces It's on tonight, so let's stand up and fight Our fragile lives have been falling to pieces It's do or die: it's time to rise up or fade away Our fragile lives have been falling to pieces It's on tonight, so let's stand up and fight Fight!
