high score! 03:33
Never get that high score again All the time we have, we pretend Everything’s all right tonight Held tight in your sad delight Can you put another quarter in? Never fall in that love again Never make it to the top We descend All my friends have gone instead Busy making plans to end All along it was just pretend Wrote it on my bathroom mirror Things I thought you said were true Water vapor trails erase Can I put another quarter in? Can you beat that high score again? Time & space we can’t transcend Tickets run like waterfalls Claw machine don’t work at all Kinda thought you’d be there in the end Wrote it on my bathroom mirror Things I thought you said were true Water vapor trails erase Can I put another quarter in? At the Galaga table top Lost my mind then my heart Even when I doubled up Could not defend a ghost love

birdies 04:43
A wounded bird Flew over An ideal me No longer She might be the one In focus Always wasting all my time The past, in the past I’ve shouldered Nothing left to give I’m colder This silence kills Unspoken The ghost that I’ve become Come back Come here You’re everywhere but near Don’t listen to the fear The sound takes you over And over Recoiler Recoiler Stand up Stand there Has everyone gone clear? Your wisdom fails here A gasp, the last In the grasp A closure Recoiler Recoiler Birds fill in the sky In fathoms Who was it that you were? Love crashes She might be the one Low chances No more wasting all my time No more wasting all my time Come back Come here You’re everywhere but near Don’t listen to the fear The sound takes you over And over Recoiler Recoiler Stand up Stand there Has everyone gone clear? Your wisdom fails here A gasp, the last In the grasp A closure Recoiler Recoiler

iffy 02:53
You’re iffy to me Blinded to see No feels to touch Am I too much? Scent can’t remind Heard all the lies Taste good to me I can barely breathe Don’t wanna stop Over and over and over it speaks to me Bounded by love In other’s ecstasies The gloom consumes I hesitate What once was here Will dissipate You’ll have to wait And if I die Before I wake I beg of her My soul to take And bleed it out Just fade away You don’t know me Darker than dark I need a heart I need a heart I’m torn apart Don’t wanna start Don’t wanna stop I need a heart

melanchronik 04:54
Melanchronik Passed out on the Couch again In time I’ll get through it The abuse is All I have Can you tell me just one reason I’ll agree then No one wins Once We were divided To the beat I can’t dance How can you sleep in a time World’s are burning Outside your head I sent a message Saw you read it Left unsaid When I needed you the most You just were Not there And this teaches us in pain Don’t force Anything Melanchronik Pulls me in I can feel The weight of it Moves me ever Slowly down Melanchronik Overhead Keeps me still Before I spin You can never Go home

triangles 02:34
Together We're here together Every time in the wrong time Every sign is the wrong sign It's in the weather Nothing found in our delights Are we just on a plotted plight? Impossible worlds We're at the Beginning of Global collapse Not just an outlier Maybe I'm always a liar Tell me forever Didn't notice our love turned to blue Won't be forever, see through you In possible worlds It's all in time Surrender Surrender your love Belief sickens the most sincere Nothing you said was ever clear She's just a pretender Dead and undying, bright as black All is unwinding, winding back Unknowing the known

oobly doobly 04:25
Do you get the feeling We’re not dealing With the same things What’s in the mind’s eye Won’t abide nice Divine divide Far away We stay Feel insecure My dismay For today Well I’m just bored Walk around the corner Leaves me empty with desire Made all the bad plans For the bad ends Love’s disaster I’ll just stay Away Feel insecure By the way No one stayed Now I’m just bored Far away We stay Feel insecure My dismay For today And I’m just bored Do you get the feeling We’re not dealing With the same things Made all the bad plans For the bad ends Love’s disaster I’ll just stay Away Feel insecure By the way No one stayed Now I’m just bored

about

After a year of focused work, forceghost is pleased to release their debut EP, "unknowing the known." This short but dense set of tracks sports a myriad of influences. In addition to the band's electronic psych sound, sharp improvisational jazz elements will regularly cut into the fray, injecting a sense of chaos into the otherwise lush soundscape. Nothing's left untouched. Six densely packed tracks will take you to the center of a black hole and back. With deeply personal themes of loss, conflict, and rejuvenation, forceghost hopes their audience finds that it is okay to completely fall apart and that it is okay to completely start over.
-Bryson Chapman
