When did wewe first realize wewe wanted to sing au be in a band?
My mother did, I'm still deciding actually.
Really?
Well the thing was, my mom was a musician and we were really poor growing up so I never thought this was really possible. So when it all happened it was like...You never know what's going to happen tomorrow so I never thought I would do this for real. I did it for fun, wewe know? It all happened.
How would wewe describe your band's sound?
I guess we're kind of like a heavier, darker kind of rock. I don't really know. We try to make the muziki correspond to whatever the story is in the song. So if it's angry it's going to sound angry, au if it's in upendo it will sound like it's in love. Most of the time it's pretty urgent, so you're going to feel, hopefully, whatever the song's about.
What's it like being a female in a heavy metal scene? You're going on Family Values where there aren't a lot of women in bands...
Well, I think we're absolutely honored to be able to go on that tour. It's tough, the mashabiki are tough and hopefully we'll win them over. It's just that there are not a lot of girls into heavy rock, but I think there are many girls out there that have really deep, emotional, aggressive depth. wewe know what I mean?
Yeah. Why do wewe think most girls don't start au jiunge bands?
There are a lot of bands out there but I think it's really hard to break through. We had a lot of trouble convincing radio stations to play us. And so, basically, we just went to the smash au trash section. They put us in there and asked the audience to vote--and then we were just winning.
Also, I guess, when you're a girl in a band, they can make that into a gimmick and the muziki isn't as important...which is ridiculous. And so if you're in a band and you're a girl, wewe really have to be respected for the music. That's the priority ...

I want wewe to know that I see
All the reasons why wewe fail
I've seen all your motivations
Ones for good and ones for hell
When wewe close your eyes to see
The truth that's inside me
May wewe hold your breath to breathe
Your empty reality
If wewe had eyes to see
Down inside your stomach
Then wewe would understand
What I mean
Who I am
Who I am
I was pouring out of passion
To light the step you're on
wewe choose not to hear au waken
All thats left is wewe alone
When wewe close your eyes to see
The truth that's inside me
May wewe hold your breath to breathe
Your empty reality
If wewe had eyes to see
Down inside your stomach
Then wewe would understand
What I mean
Who I am
Who I am
wewe can't me
With all your gross mistakes
If wewe had eyes to see
Down inside your stomach
Then wewe would understand
What I mean
Who I am

Amy says she's all alone,
Says the world doesn't even know
About the pain she hides inside
Says happiness is just a lie
Smell the roses throw them down
Just whisper, don't make a sound
Don't want the world to know the truth
You've been broken and abused...by you
Amy says
"I see wewe laughing at the rain that hits your face
With your arms stretched open soaking in the love
In a world I find so hard wewe find so beautiful
There's a hope in wewe deep inside for me."
The colors of her mind
Bleed into each other
As the morning melts the night
And the stars enchant another
While her eyes are still held shut
She can hear wewe breathing softly
Your words echo in her mind
And your words are clear and she knows that wewe are here
Yes
I see her laughing at the rain that hits her face
With her arms stretched open soaking in the love
In a world she found so hard she finds so beautiful
There's a hope in her deep inside from you
Says the world doesn't even know
About the pain she hides inside
Says happiness is just a lie
Smell the roses throw them down
Just whisper, don't make a sound
Don't want the world to know the truth
You've been broken and abused...by you

Here I stand
Empty hands
Wishing my wrists were bleeding
To stop the pain from the beatings
There wewe stood
Holding me
Waiting for me to notice you
But who are you
wewe are the truth (you are the truth)
Outscreaming these lies
wewe are the truth (you are the truth)
Saving my life
The warmth of your embrace
Melts my frostbitten spirit

The words are I upendo you
And I have to believe in you
But who are you

Outscreaming these lies

I'm sorry. I don't mean to remember.
It's true that I dream less often
I'm not ashamed of that long december.
Your hand's coming down again.
I close my eyes and brace myself
I only noticed your face
No matter what you're gonna build my shell
No matter what you're gonna build my shell.
I'm falling. I'm shedding my skin.
But it's not time I'm told.
I am aware of what wewe mean and kwa then,
I'm only ten years old.
I close my eyes and brace myself
I only noticed your face
No matter what you're gonna build my shell
No matter what you're gonna build my shell.
My scars are yours today.
This story ends so good.
I upendo wewe and I understand
that wewe stood where I stood.
I close my eyes and brace myself
I only noticed your face
No matter what you're gonna break my shell
No matter what you're gonna break my shell.
I’m done healing

will break into your thoughts
With what's written on my heart
I will break, break
I'm so sick, infected with
Where I live
Let me live without this
Empty bliss, selfishness
I'm so sick
I'm so sick
If wewe want zaidi of this
We can push out, sell out, die out
So you'll shut up
And stay sleeping
With my screaming in your itching ears
I'm so sick, infected with
Where I live
Let me live without this
Empty bliss, selfishness
I'm so sick
I'm so sick
Hear it, I'm screaming it
You're heeding to it now
Hear it, I'm screaming it

This invasion makes me feel
Worthless, hopeless, sick

Sometimes life seems to quiet into paralyzing silence
Like the moonless dark, meant to make me strong.
Familiar breath of my old lies
Changed the color in my eyes
Soon he will perferate the fabric of the peaceful kwa and by
Sorrow lasts through this night
I'll take this piece of you, and hold for all eternity
For just one sekunde I felt whole... as wewe flew right through me.
Left alone with only reflections of the memory
To face the ugly girl that's smothering me.
Sitting closer than my pain...
He knew each tear before it came,
And soon he will perforate the fabric of the peaceful kwa and by
We kiss each other one zaidi time
And sing this lie that's half way mine
The sword is slicing through the maswali so I won't be fooled
kwa his Angel light..
Sorrow lasts through this night
I'll take this piece of wewe and for all eternity
For just one sekunde I felt whole as wewe flew right though me
and up into the stars
Joy will come
Like the moonless dark, meant to make me strong.
Familiar breath of my old lies
Changed the color in my eyes
Soon he will perferate the fabric of the peaceful kwa and by
