Kira Roessler (born June 12, 1962) is an American bass guitarist, singer and Emmy award-winning dialogue editor. She is best known for her membership in the punk rock group Black Flag.
While sitting in with L.A. punk group DC3, members of Black Flag heard her playing, which led to her being asked to join Black Flag to replace founding member Chuck Dukowski. Roessler was majoring in applied engineering at UCLA, and Black Flag's subsequent tours were worked around her school schedule, which was a condition for her to join the band. Her bass playing was featured on five of Black Flag's studio albums. She remained in the band until completing touring behind their album In My Head in the autumn of 1985, then graduated UCLA in 1986.
After Black Flag, she formed the two-bass duo Dos with Mike Watt (to whom she was married between 1987 and 1994), who are still performing today. She wrote or co-wrote songs for what would be the Minutemen's final album, 3-Way Tie (For Last), and to Watt's post-Minutemen band Firehose. She later contributed artwork to Watt's first solo album, Ball-Hog or Tugboat?.
Little girl€
Blindfold€
Industrialize€
Face the daybreak€
Leap unto my sweat€
Kira, I call your name€
You, I am so true.
White, black pale skin.
Sun rays burn my eyes,
As you place the knowledge behind bars.
I never flaunt my anger,
In this house of torrid memories.
The name that spurns the name that...
I€™m, I'm so alone.
You, I am so true.
White, black pale skin.
Sun rays burn my eyes,
As you place the knowledge behind bars.
The touch, the feel, so soft caress.
My plan to fucking rape you.
You, that's right.
I€™m, I'm so..
I'm so alone.
Look!
The walls are heaving in€
Sun shines on the new fallen snow€
Brought upon by the truth.
The truth of your communism.
When I call your name..
I am so alone.
You wouldn€™t understand that I heard every word you said.
Every time I try, I see it everyday.
Until once I realize that I had a home,
But I€™m so alone.
I€™m so alone.
Kira.
I know that you decided
I know you deny it
But I do believe that you don't have to walk this road alone
Somewhere there's a fire
Deep inside a fire
So why won't you just let me be the light inside your heart?
I'll be a reason
I'll be a reason
I'll be a reason
When you need me, you can call me, I'll be there
I'll be a reason
When you're lonely, you can hear me, I'll be there
I'll be your angel
(I'll be your, I'll be your)
I'll be your angel
(I'll be your, I'll be your)
I'll be your angel
(I'll be your, I'll be your)
I'll be your angel
(I'll be your, I'll be your)
No more days of silence
No more souls divided
And I do believe if we just hold on words don't have to be this cold
Somewhere there's a fire
Deep inside a fire
So why won't you just let me be the light inside your heart?
I'll be a reason
I'll be a reason
I'll be a reason
When you need me, you can call me, I'll be there
I'll be a reason

How can I just let you walk away
Just let you leave without a trace
When I stand here taking
Every breath with you ohhhh
You're the only one
Who really knew me at all
How can you just walk away from me
When all I can do is watch you leave
'Cause we've shared the laughter and the pain
And even shared the tears
You're the only one
Who really knew me at all
So take a look at me now
'Cause there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face
So take a look at me now
'Cause there's just an empty space
And you coming back to me is against the odds
And that's what I've got to face
I wish I could just make you turn around
Turn around and see me cry
There's so much I need to say to you
So many reasons why
You're the only one
Who really knew me at all
So take a look at me now
'Cause there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me
Just the memory of your face
So Take a look at me now
So there's just an empty space
But to wait for you is
All I can do
When that's what I've got to face
Take a good look at me now
'Cause l'll still be standing (standing here)
And you coming back to me is against all odds
That's the chance I've got to take
Yeahh yeah yeah
Take A look at me now
Out of dreams into my life
sweetest thing we need blue sky's
as we date across the borderline
every breath, a touch, a thousand smiles
Here in this life we are 2 hearts on fire
the light of my life is what you are
right here to night
we are 2 hearts on fire
a breath of life thats what you are
2 hearts
oh yeah, oh yeah
2 hearts
oh yeah, oh yeah
a touch of hands, 2 words gelid
time stood still for you and I
as we date across the borderline
every breath, a touch, a thousand smiles
Here in this life we are 2 hearts on fire
the light of my life is what you are
right here to night
we are 2 hearts on fire
a breath of life thats what you are
Here in this life we are 2 hearts on fire
the light of my life is what you are
right here to night
we are 2 hearts on fire
