[Verse 1]
There’s a phantom in my head
Moves like smoke in a closet
Leaves a cold little print
On the back of my thoughts
I hear boots in the dark
When I’m trying to sleep
Like a name on the wall
That I never can keep
And the Beast sharks circlin’
In the trench of my chest
Teeth like torn-up posts
When they bite at my best
But I lace up my hope
Like a kit in the rain
Run the whole pitch clean
Through the ache and the strain
[Pre-Chorus]
I can’t shake that shadow
Can’t break that ring
Heart full of thunder
Still I chase that thing
Under the flood of the noise
Where the wild ones feed
I keep my eyes on the ball
And I plant my feet
[Chorus]
Phantom in my head
Phantom in my head
(phantom in my head)
Beast sharks swim deep
Beast sharks swim deep
(so deep)
Phantom in my head
Phantom in my head
(phantom in my head)
I love that game
I love that game
I love that game
[Verse 2]
Sunday boots on the tile
And the grass in my mind
Got a roar in my ribs
And a clock in rewind
I’m a kid with a scar
And a captain’s grin
When the crowd goes hard
I let the danger in
Beast sharks under me
Like a bad sea dream
But I dribble through jaws
With a clean left lean
One touch, then I’m gone
Like a fake to the right
If the fear wants smoke
We can settle tonight
[Pre-Chorus]
I can’t shake that shadow
Can’t break that ring
Heart full of thunder
Still I chase that thing
Under the flood of the noise
Where the wild ones feed
I keep my eyes on the ball
And I plant my feet
[Chorus]
Phantom in my head
Phantom in my head
(phantom in my head)
Beast sharks swim deep
Beast sharks swim deep
(so deep)
Phantom in my head
Phantom in my head
(phantom in my head)
I love that game
I love that game
I love that game
[Bridge]
If the dark gets loud
I let it talk too much
Then I turn that fear
Into a first-touch clutch
One goal for the ghost
One run for the grind
I don’t fear the deep
I just read the signs
[Chorus]
Phantom in my head
Phantom in my head
(phantom in my head)
Beast sharks swim deep
Beast sharks swim deep
(so deep)
Phantom in my head
Phantom in my head
(phantom in my head)
I love that game
I love that game
I love that game
