A stark contrast to “Smoke and Guns” before it, “Phantom” is a dark, highly theatrical metal track laced with powerful brass. Nate sings about how he would be a bad influence on this person he’s with, but is willing to go forward with the relationship if they are.
“Phantom” was released as the seco...
[Intro]
Hoo
[Verse 1]
I'm just a phantom in your room with no intent on leaving soon
And you're still not even sure just how I got here
Another ghost that's in your bed that you wish you could leave for dead
Ain't no magic word can make me disappear
[Refrain]
Now that room, it starts to dim, set the mood for onset sin
Now we're passed out on the floor of your apartment
With every single warning sign, it passed you up and slipped you by
But we're all bound to end up back to where we started, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
Make no mistake, I'll break you down
(Woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh)
Shout it around town
[Chorus]
I'm not what you want, but I'm exactly what you need
Take a bite and feed, your satisfaction guaranteed
I'm your sunshine, woah-oh, I'm gonna burn down your parade
I'm a shooting star, that wish you wish you never made
[Verse 2]
Don't wanna take a leap of faith, you wanna do this face to face
And like an animal, the instinct's taken over
There ain't nothing to debate, blow this purgatory state
The city lights will drown you out in the exposure
[Refrain]
And now that room, it starts to dim, set the mood for onset sin
And now we're passed out on the floor of your apartment
With every single warning sign, it passed you up and slipped you by (Every warning sign)
But we're all bound to end up back to where we started, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
Make no mistake, I'll break you down
(Woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh)
Honey, shout it around town
[Chorus]
I'm not what you want, but I'm exactly what you need
Take a bite and feed, your satisfaction guaranteed
I'm your sunshine, woah-oh, I'm gonna burn down your parade
I'm a shooting star, that wish you wish you never made
[Bridge]
This world is what you need
Where the monsters roam and the demons all feed (Hey)
Relax, don't you look so wary, it's all only temporary
We roam and sing along while the choir joins in
Sing an abhorrent song, yeah
We bite, it's a little bit scary, the pain's only temporary
Hahahahaha
[Chorus]
(I'm not what you want, but I'm exactly what you need)
(Take a bite and feed, your satisfaction guaranteed)
I'm not what you want, but I'm exactly what you need
Take a bite and feed, your satisfaction guaranteed
I'm your sunshine, woah-oh, I'm gonna burn down your parade
I'm a shooting star, that wish you wish you never made
Wish you wish you never made

On an exclusive track by track breakdown of the album for Substream Magazine, Nate explained the following about “Phantom”:
There’s an element of self-awareness to this one. It’s easy enough to write a song and talk yourself up about how you want somebody and how much good you could do for them. It...
