Normative 01:38
Every day boys and men get angry for no reason When girls or women get angry too they’re an “ overreacting crazy bitch” Be unassuming Be a people pleaser, Make everyone smile Never rock the boat I am allowed to feel anger I’m allowed to be unforgiving I am allowed to say fuck off Apology not accepted! I am angry without a second thought! I am angry without guilt Apology not accepted!

Space Eaters 00:35
I'm sick of feeling small I'm sick of being ignored I'm sick of being told that I am nothing at all I will not be afraid To take up my own space I will not be invisible I'm not sorry Women are taught in society to be small, unassuming, and unheard. These gendered ideas are put into our heads at an early age and have a big impact that usually goes unnoticed. I am constantly asking myself, “Am I in the way?” or “Have I been talking too much?” These can be good things to be asking yourself in certain settings, but the harmful affects those ideas have on women and girls can lead to believing in strict gender roles, a decrease in confidence, or life threatening eating disorders and body dysmorphia. These attitudes of “how much space to I displace” do not disappear in punk. I constantly see women standing in the back or to the sides at shows. I myself felt completely out of place when I first started fronting Night Witch. I have slowly been learning how to take up the space that I thought belonged to the boys. Although it is important for women to feel empowered to do these things, it is also important for men to realize how much space they are taking up. Whether it be at shows or on the bus, take a look at your surroundings and reflect on how much space you are occupying. In order to work together to make punk better, we must first work on ourselves and destroy the preconceived notions of gender we have learned to accept. Destroy the bro in your head.

Void 00:23
Staring at the nothing my heart in my throat the only thing that I feel is complete loss of hope Heart stopped, eyes shut and I still see nothing.
5.
Remind me again Why am I here? Why do I subject myself to watch this macho shit watching boys prove their masculinity while pushing women aside when almost every other band is another white boy crying about slut breaking his heart Why am I here? Why do I want this? why do I want a part of this fucking boys club where any word I say against rape is questioned or trivialized? where I can't scream about my issues without someone screaming they want to fuck me Why am I here? Why do I want this?

Dresses 00:20
Dresses with pockets! They go deep they go wide don't give me slacks with pockets sewn shut Am I a 4 or am I 11? medium or large? fuck that ! gimmie dresses with pockets!

Ally 00:47
not my fucking ally not on my fucking team i will not agree to disagree don’t fucking talk to me you are not my comrade you chauvinist piece of trash you’re just another bro who can kiss my fucking ass
8.
We need to start taking action Too many things are left un-said My voice can't be the only one screaming My voice is not the only one in pain Your silence is acceptance Stand up, fight back I will not "let it go" I will not calm down Your silence is acceptance
9.
Why must we always live in fear? Bodies ripped in half Telling us it’s our fault To be careful When did this become a social norm? To laugh at someone’s pain Don't walk alone Don't walk alone at night Listen for footsteps Don't dress like a slut Don't get drunk Don't look them in the eye Constant vigilance

Constituent 01:19
small reform will get us nowhere why do we focus on stroking the egos And patting the backs of old white men while children are dying what change can happen with one step forward and two steps back our capitalist system has make us think that small reform will lift us of out And small reform will end this hell We don’t question Why it takes YEARS To make any change We’ve put our faith in liberal scum who claim to be progressive yet focus on the privileged We've convinced ourselves that policy change and voting left and small reform can save the world. yeah. yeah right.

Toxic 00:50
small hints of uncertainty had a snowball effect left feeling worthless like I did something wrong I can’t stop doubting myself I can’t stop doubting myself I can’t stop doubting myself I can’t stop doubting myself Breaking a friendship No more trust
