This ones dedicated to all the women and even men out there who struggle for their rights

who struggle to be who they are without getting shit for it

never give up for what you beleive in

LYRICS:

Standing just outside the circle

Waiting for my voice to be heard

How long must I pay my dues To earn

respect from this boy¹s club? How long

will I be pushed And how long will I

be silenced? I am not an accessory

with a tiny waist size 3 When will

people realize that size does not make

beauty? When women are known through

ties to men If we are heard only after

men When women are made invisible This

Is part of sexist culture When sexism

is in the scene Its hurting more than

just mainstream society This is a

problem that should be fought together

Not a fight that gets divided by our

gender Its true that men are also

affected Women have not been the only

ones subjected This is not a reason to

dismiss our plight This is just a

reason to join the fight Knowing that

I have a voice Fighting for visibility

Its time I found my own way out Of

this silenced identity Knowing that I

have a voice Screaming as loud as I

have to I will scream until I am heard

I will scream until I see change Im

tired of hearing that this is all in

my head Im tired of hearing its my

fault for being who I am Im tired of

seeing women pushed to the side

Treated like coat racks while men talk

importantly Im tired of this dialogue

that never goes anywhere Cause youre

too busy talking to hear what I have

to say When I hear a sexist comment I

will say fuck you For all of the anger

I feel everyday Im sorry, did I ruin 3

hours of your life? Did I ruin your

good time? I am a woman every single

day I deal with this shit every single

day So Im sorry if you felt

uncomfortable for a single day But

good - maybe youll know what its like

What its like to be me Maybe youll

know what it¹s like What its like to

be she

Feeling invisible and ignored is

difficult, especially when it due to

something you have no control over.

Breaking the Silence was written to

express frustration about the way we

felt we were being treated as women

involved in the punk community. For a

long time we did not feel welcome, did

not understand why we would be pushed

outside the circle, why what we said

did not seem to matter, that no one

was really thinking about or hearing

the things we were saying. Some

unintentional (as well as intentional)

sexist behavior finds its way into our

community and it is a problem. We hope

that anyone who feels that they are

being silenced can find a way to

express their frustration, and that

anyone who is called on their sexist

actions and remarks will not take the

criticism as an attack, but rather as

a positive step in trying to make the

scene a safer place.
