Patricia Wake is a singing, songwriting, guitar playing, Sci-Fi/ Fantasy loving, ren-faire going, steampunk SCAdian goth chick fangirl. Patricia writes very serious songs (SRSLY) then presents them with irreverence and inappropriate laughter. Although her major musical influences include Leonard Cohen, P.J. Harvey, Kate Bush, Nick Cave, Tom Waits and Joni Mitchell, she is also influenced by way too much caffeine, crazy cat lady disorder, an obsession with speculative fiction, and a morbid fascination with the concept of entropy. Patricia currently offers two self recorded and handmade demo EPs, "I'll Have the Pathos With a Side of Angst", and "The Science of Fiction." She appears on Wrapped in the Guise of My Friend, a tribute to UK experimental music pioneers Attrition, and also on the upcoming cancer benefit compilation Electronic Saviors: Industrial Music to Cure Cancer. Of course, music doesn't pay the bills, so Patricia also creates costumery for her fellow chronically challenged clothing enthusiasts. You can hear her music at http://patriciawake.bandcamp.com, friend her on www.facebook.com/patriciawake, and buy stuff from her at www.patriciawake.etsy.com

Lyrics
Can I ride it out, this terrible dream? Can I let it out now, this unspeakable feeling? You never used to believe anything was impossible And I'll never believe you would ever give up on me But in the night it's pulling me in again And sometimes it's too easy to give in Hard to hold on when you've lost what you lived for Alone in the darkness, with the wolf at your door So I face that demon, that universal fear of falling For the billion suns that burn when I hear you calling And I look for their light in the stars and in the signs It can only be a matter of time Could I shut that door and leave it behind me? Could I shut you out of mind, be safe in forgetting? There's no life without fear without you, I'd be running blind I'd be living in fear of running into that void in my memory But in my dreams, you're pulling me close again Comfort in a shared desolation A hand to hold onto while I cry for the loss and pain And the promises there in the way that you say my name So I face that demon, that universal fear of falling For the billion suns that burn when I hear you calling And I look for their light in the stars and in the signs It can only be a matter of time
