about

In light of the recent news of yet another femicide, I'm releasing this demo of a song I wrote just this afternoon in under an hour against a donation of 1EUR or more (pay what you want).

All proceeds will be donated to Women's Rights Foundation, Malta.

lyrics
She believed she had a future
She planted a garden
Kept food in the freezer
She just filled the car up
Turned the engine on
to drive home today
But tomorrow is still a question

She kept the peace
Took orders for fun
Little girl in the mirror
Who had she become?
No one to hold her
To protect her at night
Love was a monster
With no mercy in sight

This soul of a nation has never
been so cold, told to sit down
And take it watch the horrors
Unfold
No one is held accountable
So everyone is doing time
When we watch the breaking news
Read another headline

Aggression is a symptom
And we haven’t found the cure
for a hero in public
and a sadist behind closed doors
