Welcome to Phantom Summer Your escape from all the pain and suffering that takes place down there on Earth If you're tuning in from the surface below, stay tuned And you'll be joining us before you know it Hello, hello, hello Hello, hello, hello Hello, hello, hello Hello, hello, hello Hello ghost in the sunset Tell me, how do you do? Burn the letter like I know you will PS I love you And when the clouds They call you back home I'll be lying here staring at the throne Just give me a sign and point me where to go You know Phantom Summer Phantom Summer I've tried to run I've tried to run away from here I've tried to run I've tried to run away from here I've tried to run I've tried to run away from here Sorry there's nothing Sorry there's nothing here I've tried to run I've tried to run away from here I'm sorry there's nothing I'm sorry there's nothing here I've tried to run I've tried to run away from here I'm sorry there's nothing No there's nothing here I've tried to run I've tried to run away from here I'm sorry there's nothing No there's nothing here I've tried to run I've tried to run away from here Phantom Summer All the memories floating away Phantom Summer Sunken melodies under the waves I've tried to run I've tried to run away from here I've tried to run I've tried to run away from here

An Endless 03:26
Sun is burning red It's raining ash through my car's cracked window I check my rearview mirror To see if I'm still there Oh, I suppose both sides of you Notice me constantly screaming A note that's caught in your throat From a song that was never finished A tune of an endless me and you So let's toast to an endless me and you Like out of a dream I thought I was seeing things A volcano erupts in the garage Couldn't stop it from melting you Just another month in paradise Just another year in paradise

Hit the snooze I'm tryna sleep in with you today I can't complain about My life cause it's okay Don't make me Don't say it I know that we can make it Erasing both our faces Blank slates are just remaining In the basement of changes It's always rearranging Awaken now again Hit the snooze I'm tryna sleep in with you today Hit the Hit the snooze Hit the Hit the snooze You better hit the snooze We might as well sleep in (we might as well sleep in) Cross off another weekend (cross off another weekend) You're always dreaming Of leaving Seasons changed while we were sleeping Then I hear my alarm start beeping At least our hearts are beating So let's cast out our shadows And hang out at the gallows Reserve a spot for two

SimCrash 05:56
This is JNS Radio and you are now entering Phantom Summer The next track is by a local band that goes by Jam 'n' Slate Let's get this shit over with The simulation's down I can almost hear the sound Of the bass drum kicking in sync With our heartbeats Lie to me I wanna love you Even if that doesn't mean anything Lie to me I wanna love you Even if that doesn't mean anything The computer's crashing It's okay As long as I get to spend the day with you That's all I wanna do The simulation's crashing It's all good You hacked my heart and I'm clipping through the walls Of empty corridors The computer's crashing It's okay As long as I get to spend the day with you That's all I wanna do The simulation's crashing It's all good You hacked my heart and I'm clipping through the walls Of empty corridors The computer's crashing It's okay As long as I get to spend the day with you That's all I wanna do The simulation's crashing It's all good You hacked my heart and I'm clipping through the walls Of empty corridors Too late The feeling mutates And now I'm so alone Just another microphone I listen My life's gone missing In the backrooms of your heart I'm just another soul to pull apart Digital abyss Explore a world where we exist Polygonal bliss There's no place like this Lie to me I wanna love you Even if that doesn't mean anything Lie to me I wanna love you Even if that doesn't mean anything Lie to me I wanna love you Even if that doesn't mean anything Today we have a letter from someone named Kellen Rose He asks, when can I go home? Haha well Kellen You and the 117,248,609,137 others no longer have terrestrial forms So in short, you can't go home Your previous body has long since withered and rotted away Now unclouded, you are completely susceptible to Phantom Summer

Soul Sand 03:48
I've been stuck up here a while now Give me a second chance Your soul billows in the wind In a bottled world Where my breath controls the weather Will we meet down there together? Did you ever read my letter? There's a hole in the center of our city Where the bottom can't be seen A pitch black ocean engulfs me If we're lucky we can make it through the seaweed What was that that you just said? Now the water's turning red There's a hole in the center of our city Where the bottom can't be seen A pitch black ocean engulfs me If we're lucky we can make it through the seaweed What was that that you just said? Now the water's turning red There he goes again There he goes again There he goes again There's a hole in the center of our city Where the bottom can't be seen A pitch black ocean engulfs me If we're lucky we can make it through the seaweed What was that that you just said? Now the water's turning red There he goes again There he goes again There he goes again There he goes again

BELEIF 04:35
When I was nine I was walking in-between The big 'ole pines were clogging up All the airducts in my dreams Don't be kind You'll just lose All other things You don't believe it no I don't believe in anyone Oh there's nobody left to believe No I don't believe in anyone There's nobody left for me Cactus man bleeding out of himself Don't fall down Or you'll be inside a hell Just rewind I took good care of my health Don't be kind He'll take you I don't believe in anyone Oh there's nobody left to believe I don't believe in anyone There's nobody left for me I can't find out what I even want from this world But is it worth it I don't know (I try to free myself) I don't believe in anyone I don't believe in anyone I don't believe in anyone Oh there's nobody left to believe I don't believe in anyone No there's nobody left to believe No I don't believe in anyone There's nobody left for me I don't believe in anyone Oh there's nobody left to believe No I don't believe in anyone There's nobody left

Last night yeah we both dug trenches Deep down till we both struck gold I can't forget all the times it lingers Drive past my mono soul I'm stuck staring at a one way window Knowing full well who's on the other side My reflection caved in Framed with fragments from our other lives You left the light on in the basement You can't switch it off You can't face it Now I'm stranded Non-complacent When I disappear There's no trace man Good luck sleeping on your death bed A sea of hangnails flows above your head Don't forget to collect your finder's fee And pick up the pieces of you and me Stop counting the days (the days, the days, the days, the days) We'll breath out the haze (the haze) Watch the clock arm ballet (watch the clock arm ballet) As our skin fades to grey You left the light on in the basement You can't switch it off (last night yeah we both dug trenches) You can't face it Now I'm stranded Non-complacent (trenches) When I disappear There's no trace man Last night yeah we both dug trenches You left the light on Last night yeah we both dug trenches In the basement Last night yeah we both dug trenches You can't switch it off Last night yeah we both dug trenches You can't face it

This is an intermission This is an intermission This is an intermission Now there intermission (yeah) Take three
12.
Clear my mind With a hazy sunlight Leaking through the tree tops In my eyes I see it Mind I feel it now Feel the sky Watch the moon slowly rise As our problems spin in our head You say to me Don't worry one day we'll die

We Decompose 02:18
14.
Reset the board I'm back to my own devices Speaking in code Just figuring out what my life is Rocket or not It's gonna get hot, bring a jacket The sky fades away Revealing a stray cigarette Still burning It's too late Your gravity's got a hold on me (it's too late) It's too late Your atmospheric smile (it's too late) My radio wires The warning light choir It's too late Your gravity's got a hold on me It's too late Your atmospheric smile My radio wires The warning light choir I'll be beside you When all the planets fade away Stars surround you An orbit I cannot escape
15.
Welcome to my cloud where we can sit and watch the war After we left it crumbled itself back into the dirt We'll lay around and talk about every single thing we've ever said And slowly come to terms that phantom summer never ends
16.
Walking down the street I know I heard a muffled scream Now I lie awake Wondering why I didn't intervene Oh you have the right to haunt me No one melts like me No one melts like me Drift through the tape of a crime scene Make sure you knock all my things off the shelf I see your shadows next to my bed Goosebumps at four AM It's not in my head Oh you have the right to haunt me Here it is another chapter of our lives Weeks bleed together as they clot up our tired eyes Like pouring lava down a waterslide Don't be surprised (no one melts like me) Don't be surprised (no one melts like me) Don't be surprised When I start melting from inside Walking down the street The sun begins to fall Trees turn to soil Seas start to boil You can't tread water in a tsunami Fading constellations are calling me back home
17.
Can you believe it's been a whole year? I'm on my feet, but how did I get here? I'm lost in the cold as the tide rises Watch the world turn old as she pacifies us Can you believe it's been a whole fucking year? And I still can't hear the words of my mother As she says Everything will be alright just Never change what you've got your sights on And it'll be all clear As she says Lost innocence breeds a guilty presence Lost innocence breeds a guilty presence I'm telling you now I'm telling you now I can't wait to get around this I can't wait to make the sound of my voice go Through the rain and snow To propagate into every soul I'll tell you this I don't want no kids Not when my life Can be worse than this

Love Jam 3 06:02
I love the way you are I'll keep you entertained Making it through the waves We do what we can Now that your free to be Anything with me I have to end what we have It all has to change It all has to change It all has to change Compromise, remind me what I'll lose Memories of things we'll never do Oh the recollection's fading All these moments ever changing in me I love the way we were But I can't stay the same Time cuts away at my heart But we all want new things I am so glad that you Spent your time with me It all worked Perfectly I'm grateful for the world we built together May it crumble slowly to the sea What place did we use to meet? It all has to change Memories that I'll keep It all has to change I always liked that joke It all has to change Do you remember the parade? It all has to change
19.
Postscript 03:05
Will you save me a seat At the world's last heartbeat? Watch her lungs melt As we lose another shelf A shell of her former self Stripped of all her wealth Will you please take my hand? As we make our final stand As the tide pulls away And the sun starts our last day I'm glad I could spend it at all No winters, no spring, and no fall A desert as far as the I can see you standing there Waiting for the worst To wash up on the shore An endless phantom Summer takes its toll

about

Still watching the sunset, waiting for something. Guess it's just another year in paradise. It's okay though. I get to be here with you. As the feeling mutates, summer takes its toll.
