HERE COME THE FOURTH

Well it’s hard to believe that it’s summer already, it seems like time goes by faster and faster the older you get. I’m looking forward to my 4th of July weekend. Tonight I’m going to Hollywood to see Matthew Sikora perform with his solo project and tomorrow I’m headed to LA to see 2 of my friends’ bands perform. I’m hoping the rest of my weekend will consist of swimming pools, basketball games and barbecued food. Aside from this weekend I’m also stoked to get back on stage with my boys. Phathom is currently booking some new shows (which will be posted as soon as they are confirmed) and we are trying to hit up some areas we haven’t played at in awhile so I hope to see some old faces in the upcoming weeks ahead. I feel thanks are in order to everyone that has spread the word about our new song “California Way”, the support from the fans never ceases to amaze me and the feedback we have received has been awesome! Anyways friends I wish all of you a safe and fun holiday weekend, take care!

Sincerely,
Anton

California Way

It's kinda like Holiday
When the grey skies blown away
Skipping the reasons, the freezing seasons gotta go
I know, I know, I know
It feels like summer in the air

I'm in love with California
California ways
I've fallen hard
For California

It's a place to run away
Where the sun shines everyday
Leaving the seasons
Back where darkness seems to grow
I know, I know, I know
It feels like summer in the air

I'm in love with California
California ways
I've fallen hard
For golden summer skies
I'm in love with California
California rays
I've fallen hard
For California
Whoa California
Whoa Golden Summer Skies
Whoa California

I'm in love with California
California ways
I've fallen hard
For golden summer skies
I'm in love with California
California rays
I've fallen hard
For California
Whoa California
Whoa Golden Summer Skies
Whoa California

POSTHUMOUS

Don’t tell me this is the end
Though it seems like a sad ascension
It takes moments to kick in
So let’s get closer to get stronger

We take a short fall
But it’s a long rise
Looks like this will be the last time I see you again
And i’ll never forget
Now we carry on and on

Don’t tell me this is goodbye
Now it seems like life has stalled
Yes I know this to be true
Well time has come to pass

We take a short fall
But it’s a long rise
Looks like this will be the last time I see you again
And i’ll never forget
Now we carry on and on

We take a short fall
But it’s a long rise
Looks like this will be the last time I see you again
At least for a while
Now we carry on and on

Posthumous

We carry on

We carry on

THE HALO EFFECT

Always was, but never something
Could it be that it’s deceiving
Deny my senses
Where were you
In time of need

I had trust in you
I’ll take it all away so you can’t hide
Abject from this
Here me know me
You’re crawling back no more
No more
No more

Pretend that you are real now
Wouldn’t it make a difference to me
Tell the truth, no more lies
It’s happening again

I had trust in you
I’ll take it all away so you can’t hide
Abject from this
Here me know me
You’re crawling back no more
No more
No more
No more

Flawless by practice
Pretend that you are real now
Abject from this
Here me know me
You’re crawling back no more

I had trust in you
I’ll take it all away so you can’t hide
Abject from this
Here me know me
You’re crawling back no more
No more
No more
No more
No more

CARRION

Remember betrayal scarring life
Remember the cold sting of fear
Remember deceiving waves of sound
Rewinds and echos in my ear

I’m mourning my warning
I’m losing and fading
Contagious scarring
Are you to be just like me

Am I so safe in here
My wounds are deep and poisonous
Am I so safe in here
My wounds are deep and poisonous

Forgetting the pain that fractured my heart
Undoing memories made from the start
Believing I’m someone I’m not
Tired of being what you want me to be

I’m mourning my warning
I’m losing and fading
Contagious scarring
Are you to be just like me

Am I so safe in here
My wounds are deep and poisonous
Am I so safe in here
My wounds are deep and poisonous

I betray, betray you
In blaspheminic ways I defy you
Through your heart I scathe unseen
Undone, Unblessed, Unholy

Am I so safe in here
My wounds are deep and poisonous
I mourn and warn for your sake
My wounds are deep and poisonous

BINGE

Have you ever taken thought to how you’d spend
A wish randomly received
Would it be for human good or self satisfaction
Would it be what you always wished for

Go all out
Leave no expense
Your subconscious haunts my desire
This wish is for you and
Spend it as you please

Woah
Take everything you can
Always wanted more
Woah
And never look back

What would you wish for?
Is it universal?
Does it quench your undying thirst for more?
Regret echos walls of instant empires
But you’re still alone

Go all out
Leave no expense
Your subconscious haunts my desire
This wish is for you yeah
Spend it as you please

Woah
Take everything you can
Always wanted more
Woah
And never look back
Woah
Take everything you can
Always wanted more
Woah
And never look back

Take everything you can
Take all that you can

Take everything you can
And never look back
Take everything you can
And never look back
Take everything you can
And never never never look back
Take everything you can

MINDS THAT PLAGUE

This time I feel like I don’t belong and
My place is somewhere outside the box and
Make me feel like I need to hold you close
Show me it’s worth the climb
I’ve finally found myself in you

Ignore the principles
Ignore the minds that plague
The minds that plague
I found my own
I found my…

I tried to think with my heart and not my head
Don’t let them make you think differently
Your eyes they make the world disappear
Show me it’s worth the climb
I’ve finally found myself in you

Ignore the principles
Ignore the minds that plague
The minds that plague
I found my own
I found my
Ignore the principles
Ignore the minds that plague
The minds that plague
I found my own
I found my…

I can’t ignore anymore the one that I adore
I can’t ignore anymore the one that I adore
I can’t ignore anymore the one that I adore
I can’t ignore anymore the one that I adore

Ignore the principles
Ignore the minds that plague
The minds that plague
I found my own
I found my
Ignore the principles
Ignore the minds that plague
The minds that plague
I found my own
I found my
Minds that plague
