Weakness 02:25
There is a picture buried in my mind On which our faces feign to smile While freezed we look so confident The truth is my hands were shaking Cannot you see my sad forced smile Cannot you see my cheerless looking Cannot you hear my voice trembling When I evoke what we were doing How I dealt with his routine How I felt alone with him Please forgive me for not fighting Please forgive me for not saying I was nothing I was his thing Please forgive me for not fighting Please forgive me for not saying I prayed for help I prayed for death

She can’t take no more Yet still there She can’t move on Yet still there Upset, breathless, distressed, motionless She wishes she could stop it now This fucking wistfulness can’t help her move on Freezed in the past, stuck in present Future looks like a brick wall "You took my very soul far away Into lands where nobody dares to venture You’re the reason why I became a stranger to myself" A stranger to her friends and loved ones Wilfully blind A fading old flower dried by the sun Wilfully blind Waiting, thinking of brighter days Yet still there

That dress makes you so hot Your ass makes me naughty Your red lips suggest a kiss I got I was a woman when I couldn’t go alone at night 'Cause I was seen as an easy prey I knew I’d be careful all my life I got I was a woman when I was harrassed for the first time 'Cause of my shapes and my look I knew It wouldn’t be the last I’ve lost my patience I’ve been fighting for years Teaching them not to act like some jerks Demanding them not to whistle at us 'Cause in which world would it fucking work My despair has turned into anger No innocent compliment No flattering speeches Just discrediting judgment Just guilt-making glances

Pretending 02:02
They talk in the name of us They talk about patriarchy They claim to be feminist They know how to use these words Take a look at your militancy Isn’t there a blunder to see Is it really your belief Isn’t it to be mainstream Fuck the talking, be what you say Fuck your claiming, please move on Fuck pretending, it’s fake support Don’t forget you’re privileged Don’t forget I do take care of myself Let me shine and come to the front My hate, my voice My rights, my fight My fear, my arms My revolution, not yours

Holofernes 02:48
Her name was Judith She was just a pretty girl from another town Afraid, scared and mad She saw the nearest town under fire Besieged by one man A Vicious soldier obsessed by power But also weak, at the mercy of desire And she knew it, sensuality could defeat him Behind sheer curtains he stood there She caught the eye of the suddenly hypnotized guy whose body was gonna force his fate He got drunk, he took her, got naked, felt asleep The pretty girl approaches this worm Close enough to feel his last breath She takes her dagger carried closely With no remorse she cuts his head off When it felt down she raises her hand Blood everywhere, free over there Still waters run deep, Judith took care of it She turned her weakness into a weapon Nobody could have imagined A women alone could be such strong-willed
