lyrics
Hey, here I am
It's a beautiful day here
In Bright Falls
I hope nothing gets in my way
But something don't seem right
I feel safer in the light
It's been two years
Inspiriation it can't be found
Suddenly my life is turned upside down
I ran when I heard her scream (it's too late)
They dragged her into the lake
My name is Alan Wake
And I'm a Writer
But I don't remember writing this story
And as these pages come to life
I hope they help me find my wife
I'm running (running running)
Running through the night
With the help of a flashlight
The Taken they burn and ignite
Here comes some more
They just appear out of the thin air
I'm never giving up on you
The writing shows up on the walls
Maybe that's a clue
That takes me to where you are
I'll travel any distance
I don't care how far
My name is Alan Wake
And I'm a Writer
But I don't remember writing this story
My name is Alan Wake
And I'm a Writer
Like winter branches lined with snow and ice, Sam Ray (Ricky Eat Acid, Teen Suicide)'s latest is delicate, spare, melancholy, and beautiful. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 3, 2018
