Survivor

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I'm not a victim, I survived It was my anger that kept me alive I'm not so fragile I already broke Can't make me shut up if I already spoke [Pre-Chorus] It was my anger, was my anger It was my anger that kept me alive It was my anger, was my anger It was my anger that kept me alive [Chorus] They want me to take it But not like a man They want me to take it Again and again [Verse 2] Emotional Hysterical Irrational Asking for it Words used against women who do not fit into Our archaic culture's limited view of gender We are the lying harlot, the conspiring witch Prude, slut, insatiable bitch [Pre-Chorus] What you gonna do when the coven assembles? What you gonna do when the pack forms? Don't tell me how to cope or how to be Stop pointing superior fingers at me This place is so small I can't breathe Sooner or later I will bare my teeth [Chorus] They want me to take it But not like a man They want me to take it Again and again Don't treat me like I'm fragile I already broke Can't silence a movement It's too late, we spoke [Verse 3] And if I froze up do you think that's consent? If I remained friendly does that mean I'm fine? If I walked out and left you is that all this done? If I defended myself is it me in the wrong? If I fought back we're even, if I froze up I lied No belief unless I fucking lay down and died I'm gonna make it, I will survive It was my anger that kept me alive
