about

PHANTOMS was written to bring a sense of panic and movement. The drums and percussion keep the song pushing forward until the breaks are put on before the ending breakdown. Note the use of single bass drum to emphasize the heaviness of the beat and the militaristic snare drums.

lyrics

Take. Take a minute to look around
Does this all seem familiar? Its the same fucking thing on repeat.
Try. Try to pull yourself away
and for one shining moment be a part of something big

And now we're running through the streets, our home
and the buildings burn like ancient Rome
just keep moving to stay alive
while the sinders fall like lurid snow
and the fires swallow all you know
we become phantoms, the "unknown"
I know you're scared of everything ahead
of everything out there
but its better to be scared than to feel nothing at all

there a light still alive in your eyes you can keep
if you just keep feeding the flames
and a voice in your heart if you scream loud enough
it can conquer anything
like the poison and lies we've been fed our whole lives
and the fables we've been told.
we're not deaf. we're not blind. we have known this whole time
but the ideas taking hold

PRE-CHORUS
CHORUS

listen up. there will be no hand outs, freebies or prizes at the door
we will not be welcomed with open arms.
we must do this on our own
and the revolution will not be televised

The only time you should ever look down on someone is when you're helping them up!
