Survivor

(Verse 1)
I swore that this was the end
I couldn’t even trust my so-called friends
What’s the point of sticking together?
Loyalty is fickle, and it all depends…

On whether or not you’ve got the goods
Like the wolf stalking little Red in the woods
Abandoning a pure soul once he took his pleasure, hah!
And yet they’ve all said: “the hood’s always got your back.”

(Chorus)
Why do I bother justifying your actions?
Whatever love I had for you burnt out with the ashes
You hurt even me, your own flesh and blood
The dam has breached; feel my rage come out like a flood.
So, go on and try to burn me with your tainted fire
Haven’t you heard? I’m a fucking survivor!

(Verse 2)
I’ve had enough of your shit!
Why do you keep on doing this?
I guess I’ll never have the answer
Every time I ask, you’re quick to resist.

Was it worth the way you destroyed our family?
It’s been years since I’ve truly felt happy
You were supposed to be our protector
Yet you’ve dumped us like garbage to indulge your sexuality.

(Chorus)

(Bridge)
You’ve torn out my heart, and left a black hole
I curse you for leaving me to figure out how to make myself whole
Your goal to push me down failed; I’m now higher
Nothing can take down a survivor.

(Chorus)
