Lyrics:

Walked past the market last night
Looking for a place to hide
Thought about getting a pack
For the first time
I was so anxious 
But that’s no cure for loneliness
Tried to calm down with a breath

Where did the time go?
God only knows
God only knows
And where did the good go?
Where did it go?
Cause I don’t know
I don’t know
Where to go anymore

No I can’t do stupid things
Cause I’m too old I think
Am I past the age of mistakes
Or can I misbehave?
But how can I start to blame
All of these little things
On anyone but myself

Where did the time go?
God only knows
God only knows
And where did the good go?
Where did it go?
Cause I don’t know
I don’t know
Where to go anymore

Sometimes I forget how to live
When I’m filled with emptiness
Maybe there’s nothing left
Maybe there’s nothing left

Where did the time go?
God only knows
God only knows
And where did the good go?
Where did it go?
Cause I don’t know
I don’t know
Where to go anymore

Where Did The Time Go

rakey’s “The Ghosts I Know” is a melodic bargaining and realization over this simple notion: to be human is to be reminded of your histories again and again in an echo. Words can mark for life and experiences spark inevitable and sometimes seismic shifts. But a life spent aimlessly floating is no replacement for the gravity and gift of being human.

The track is sonically captivating, marrying hauntingly beautiful vocal melodies with unique synthesizers and progressive drum samples while staying grounded in roots of indie folk songwriting

LYRICS:

I want to go downtown and sit in the city
without running into a ghost
write down all of my feelings about my new life on the east coast
I want to make out with my favorite new person
without being 10 years old
and re-living words I wish
I never heard in an echo

maybe if I float around 
like all the ghosts I know
they’ll haunt someone else instead
and leave me all alone 

I want to go back to soho or brooklyn
this year without missing you
how can I miss someone who made
me feel so sad without trying to

and I want to visit the new church downtown and not
ache like I always do
gaslighting myself
playing back why I left 
“why’d you have to?”

maybe if I float around 
like all the ghosts I know
they’ll haunt someone else instead
and leave me all alone 

maybe if I float around 
like all the ghosts I know
they’ll haunt someone else instead
and leave me all alone 

and I could go on living in a
whisper no one knows
but I’d miss you way too much
and I’d just
hang out in your home

Nobody Else
