Leah Andreone
Leah Andreone (born May 24, 1972 in San Diego, California) is an American musician.
Early life and career
Andreone was born and raised in San Diego and attended Helix High School in La Mesa. After high school she spent time in Los Angeles, working during the day and singing at night.
Her first album, Veiled, produced by Rick Neigher, was released by RCA in 1996. It included the hit single "It's Alright, It's Okay" which charted in both the U.S. and Europe. It was introspective whereas her next album, Alchemy, was more sexual and intimate. Andreone's lyrics are often treatises on psychology, reflecting her interest in the subject.
Since Alchemy, Andreone has continued to write and perform. She has collaborated with other artists and writers, such as Billy Steinberg, Kevin Fisher, Rob Hyman, Eric Bazilian, Marti Fredrikson, Charlie Clouser (Nine Inch Nails), John Shanks, David Lowery (Cracker), John Lowery (Marilyn Manson), Kasia Livingston, Kay Hanley (Letters To Cleo), Michelle Lewis and Martha Davis (The Motels) and worked as a producer. She toured with Lilith Fair.

Veiled
by: Leah AndreoneWhy won't you pay attention?
Pray every night I'll make you happy
If I'm real bad will you punish me
The contact hurts but at least you're touching me
Can't you see, can't you read, please read me, please
Hard to believe I'm your flesh and blood
Watch your mistakes swimming down my face
Jump up and down and I'll even fall
To your feet you're stepping on me
You're hurting me, you don't notice me, you're hurting me
I'm screaming, I'm breaking, I'm grieving, get angry
I'm rebelling, I'm trying, I'm losing, be proud of me
I'm sickening, I'm learning, please notice me, I'm your baby
Am I all you hoped that I would be
Must be no boundaries guess no one cares
What's mine is mine and what's yours is mine to get
I'll make you listen until you're blue
The contact hurts but at least I'm touching you
I'm raping, I'm craving, I'm begging, get angry
I'm weakening, I'm regretting, I'm sorry be proud of me
I'm invisible, I'm multiplying
I'm pleading, I'm killing
Am I all you hoped that I would be
La la's
I'm crippling, I'm sobbing, I'm degrading
I know you want me
I'm deprecating, I'm demoralizing
I'm sad humiliating, I'm empty
I'm destroying, I'm guilty, I'm ashamed
I'm wrong, I know I'm wrong
Why won't you pay attention?
Hung from a rope then you'll know me
