I bleed every month in silence, out of sight
I hide the pain neatly, cause that's what feels right
Tampons in my sleeve, slipping through the cracks
Don't mention it, just smile, watch your back

Walking to work, a stare that sticks too long
A hand where I shouldn't, like it's just not wrong
And when I speak up, they say, can't take a joke
But my skin is screaming every time they poke

Because no one listens when we scream
Our silence fits their perfect dream
No one asks what we go through
If we're breaking or just pushing through

No one listens when we shout
They turn away and drown us out
But we live it every goddamn day
And don't dare ask if it's okay

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Meetings full of men, I speak, they nod
Two minutes later, he repeats it, now it's smart and broad
Same words, new voice, and suddenly it counts

I'm just a smile, while his wisdom mounts
Dirty jokes by the coffee machine
And I laugh like I'm taught, like I'm part of the scene
But inside I'm cold and my hands are tight

There's no means nothing when you dress polite
Because no one listens when we scream
Our silence fits their perfect dream
No one asks what we go through

If we're breaking or just pushing through
No one listens when we shout
They turn away and drown us out
But we live it every goddamn day

And don't dare ask if it's okay
They say you've come so far, don't complain
Rights on paper, don't wanna break the chain
What's equality in written law

If I still feel smaller than before
Because no one listens when we scream
They prefer the silence of the dream
But we wear bruises under skin

And one day they'll hear everything
I bleed, I freeze, I fight, I fall
But one day we will tell it all
Oh

Oh
Oh
Oh
