1.	Poetry 00:33	lyrics	buy track
In darkness lies my strength I hear it rumbling deep It shares the space with panic Unmerciful disease I open up my eyes The rumbling doesn't stop The words are pouring out The tears on my cheeks hot Deemed too hysterical Blamed on my ovaries The weapon of my choice? It is my poetry
2.	Downfall 01:00	lyrics	buy track
This will be your downfall! The pain of my fellow witches Is stinging in my chest Their cries constrict my breathing And their troubles hurt my head All for one and one for all This is also true for trauma I cannot live untroubled now I feel this everlasting aura Of the need to fight for freedom Never letting down our guard No absolution will be given For fucking offenders This will be your downfall! And if we fall together You will not stay on top The abyss is waiting for you Let's see how low you drop
3.	Mysterious Sad Boy 01:16	lyrics	buy track
Oh boy, look at you Lyrics so sad What you must be going through Mysterious sad boy The cold autumn mist devours the shadows of your heart Unimaginable pain Rejection and courage The tragic hero Who gave everything for love But is it the whole story? The hero's path is lined With the ghosts of former lovers' pride Walking on their dignity No feeling of regret While he tries to blind the fools The wise and vulnerable see You
4.	Vampire 00:30	lyrics	buy track
You won't Shut up Dull pain behind my eyes You won't Shut up You keep feasting on my time Fucking leeches bleed me dry You keep feasting on my life I can't take it any longer You are no friend Goddamn leeches No one I call friend
5.	House Of Pain 02:02	lyrics	buy track
What once was supposed to be A sheltered place for me to flourish Is now clinging onto me Like concrete weights in dreadful waters The fear is closing in on me So many screams and hateful comments I feel the agony drip down The walls and every little corner I try to think of happy moments Restlessly searching for relief But even if I finally find one The light this moment brings is brief The building pulsates in the rhythm Of a heart that is too scared to sleep It's turned into a nightmare And I need to wake up now to breathe Free me from this house of pain The cracks in the walls feel like exploding veins I need to leave, never to return again Running from hurt but I'm paralysed now Help me take this fucking house down Free me Free me from this house of pain
6.	Wrong 00:42	lyrics	buy track
Paid by the public to serve and protect All of the people, no matter their colour White, brown, rainbow or black ACAB Stop acting as if you're the oppressed one I'm tired of your excuses And the worst thing is it won't be your last one ACAB If you think we're wrong Then prove us wrong
7.	Hypocrisy 01:12	lyrics	buy track
Hypocrisy Everywhere Practice what you preach Or don't preach at all Instead of virtue signalling And then getting caught Maybe use the time For some introspection But that's the fucking problem People lack self-reflection Hypocrisy I don't believe In your good intentions If you wanted you would And if you wanted you will Until then I'm willing To die on this hill Calling out your hypocrisy Until you change
8.	Audacity 01:19	lyrics	buy track
The audacity of those who dare To criticise people Who don't care Mansplain alert! I actually thought about quitting But then it hit me We must do it Do it for our FLINTA* They can leave their expectations in the stone age And there can be more than men on stage It's fucking obvious right? Well so I thought But you have to understand Being a man is so hard But I do it Do it for my FLINTA* Smash the audacity
9.	Woman, Life, Freedom 00:51	lyrics	buy track
I can sense their fear From thousands of miles away They know what's coming now And they know that they won't stay Woman, life, freedom! Woman, life, freedom! For all of human history Oppression was reality But despite them trying for so long Women's spirit could never be broken And it never will be Our lost sisters will be revenged Because our fight is soon coming to an end Woman, life, freedom!
10.	But 00:50	lyrics	buy track
I want to be on stage and be a frontwoman You can do it - but We want more women who represent us They can do it - but And what about less angry men who molest us? We will do it - but We want to live our lives like equal humans It's not a problem - but Excuses as weak as your will to change Stop talking nice and do something I am waiting for a change I am waiting for you to change I am waiting
