Kitty Hawk - 16 Days


In honour of International Women's Day I hereby post the lyrics for our song 16 Days. It deals with gender based violence (the 16 Days of Activism of the United Nations and the memory of the Mirabal Sisters) and letting go of toxic masculinity. On top of that it is a shout out to the art of Emma Ruth Rundle en her song 'Protection' in particular. 



16 DAYS 

She gave me 16 days 
To access my hidden mind 

It's teaching me 
Breaking me 
Deconstructing me 
Building me anew 

I found a form of true protection 
It's in the tearing me down 
To hell with false ideas of manhood 
I’ll drag my pride through the mud 

It's teaching me 
Breaking me 
Deconstructing me 
Building me anew 

She gave me 16 days 
To assess my hidden mind 

Commemorate the Sisters Mirabal 
Fuck you and your patriarchy... 
Fuck you and your patriarchy! 

She gave me 16 days 
To access my hidden mind 

She gave me 16 days 
To lay bare my humanity
