It's been forever since I last confessed If there's a God, I know he's unimpressed With every step I took to get my foot in the door To feel comfortable in my skin and feel okay with the world Praying never fills the void I heard your name, but never heard your voice I went to Catholic school, and then I lost my soul I guess I'm going down to hell 'cause I won't do what I'm told Ahhh Ahhh Ahhh Ahhh Ahhh Ahhh Ahhh Ahhh Ahhh Ahhh Ahhh Ahhh Ahhhhhh I hope that Mother Mary forgives me For losing faith when I was seventeen I got on my knees and I sang a hymn I was born in purity and I was raised by sin Lit my candles at the alter Where every son and daughter Reconciled with the man upstairs I held the crucifix to heart and took everywhere

Elvis 03:34
I long for the American Dream Even though we can’t define it I wanna cast my body into the sea With hopes I’ll divide it All my heroes are dead I’m hell bent and I’m Heaven sent I’ll end up like them Godspeed Starman, here’s to the end Well I’m down to my last cigarette Why couldn’t God make me look like Elvis? And I’m barely breathing through this sleep machine And the blood I’m spilling Makes a portrait of who I used to be Lay me down and cut me open And tell me what you see A heart of glass that’s always broken And lungs made of nicotine My shadow’s my only friend ​I’m barely conscious, face down on the bed Haunted by what God said There’s not a prayer I can comprehend Well I’m down to my last cigarette Why couldn’t God make me look like Elvis? And I’m barely breathing through this sleep machine And the blood I’m spilling Makes a portrait of who I used to be

Gypsy 02:12
Home She’s always far from home She always feels alone Invisible like a ghost She roams around the coast Her smile could save the world She feels so insecure Ever since she was a girl She was promised so much more Her hopes were not so small town She sold her soul For rock and roll now

Derby Daze 03:23
Morning comes, I'll be on the road While you'll be on a plane I'll be roaming on the west coast While you'll be on Broadway I'm way too stoned to say your name I'm fucked up, but everything's okay I'm okay And it's torture When every conversation gets shorter I'm dying as the weather gets warmer You're gonna miss me when I'm gone You're gonna miss me when I'm gone You're waking up with someone else In your studio apartment I passed out in a shitty hotel Where insecurity's permanent When you took that one way trip to New York You left my heart at your front porch Your front porch I guess I'll watch you on the big screen I'll see you, but you won't see me

Mermaid 02:42
I’m caught in your wave Now I’m treading the sea My hearts in a cage Only you’ll set it free You bring the rhythm I’ll bring the blues I was lost until I found you I’m stoned on your gaze And my heads in the clouds I’m stuck in a daze Let the tides drag me down You’re a goddess in a formal dress Let down your hair and your Sunday best LDS meets LSD Euphoria is the only thing you bring me

You turned into a ghost With my name on your gravestone I’ll haunt you every day Until you’re not alone I’ll tend to all your wounds And I’ll brighten all your gloom I wanna be the reason You wake up before noon I don’t wanna work today I’d rather be outside digging my grave And go about my days like it’s all okay Everyday is lonely And every night is unproductive I’ll just lay in bed and dream about Everything that could have happened Cross my heart and hope to die I’ve been waiting for you all my life I’ll hold my breath and close my eyes And curse the day that we said goodbye Things will never be alright Till the day we reunite Here by my side I was born to embody The word “melancholy" I got no direction And I got no calling I’m always feeling weak Never standing on my two feet I’m treading rocky waters And I’m destined to sink I’ll always end up hurting No matter how long I’ll be searching For the one to share the covers with at night I’ll always be alone With a broken heart And brittle bones I’d just kill to have a lifetime Under your spotlight Cross my heart and hope to die I’ve been waiting for you all my life I’ll hold my breath and close my eyes And curse the day that we said goodbye Things will never be alright Till the day we reunite Here by my side

Post-Grad 02:21
Everything is too much too soon It's the catalyst of losing grip of my own youth And every single day that passes me by Only emphasizes doubts in the back of my mind It's alright I'm alright Imperfection is a side effect of bad intent And misery's my middle name I'll be saying my goodbyes to my oldest friends And I'm counting my last days I don't know where to begin If I want to feel comfortable in my own skin When I look in the mirror all that I see Is the epitome of fatal insecurity It's alright I'm alright Imperfection is a side effect of bad intent And misery's my middle name I'll be saying my goodbyes to my oldest friends And I'm counting my last days

​Crucify the Why Generation Romanticize this grim sensation Here's looking at you, kid My time is running out, honey My eyes grew wary of the sunny sky I'm guided by moonlight The American Dream Is my nightmare Could you just stop haunting? The kids are scared God's flood should plague everybody Let the blood recede of the country's coasts Sit on a throne of our bones Dying young has never sounded so sweet I've worn away for years from the loneliness Take this knife to bed The American Dream Is my nightmare Could you just stop haunting? The kids are scared

Charlie 02:24
I’m upside down and inside out for you I’m torn in two A container full of pills will make me disappear from view What should I do? Everything I want Is Everything I’m not Your dads drunk with a handgun Please don’t shoot me Overdose on Ritalin with me Please quit smoking I’m trippin' on your love, prescription drugs and misery It’s anarchy Everything I want Is everything I’m not Your dads drunk with a handgun Please don’t shoot me I’m upside down and inside out for you
11.
Give me your love And I'll show you how to sin Give me some blood You hide a hundred skeletons I'm bleeding out Every touch leaves an open wound Not safe not sound I'm just so vulnerable and used. I've never met a charming man like you Who left me broken and confused As for now all that I can do Is stare up at the crescent moon Because that's all I'm good for All the scars left on my skin Makes all hope wear paper thin I would dream about how things could've been If I were naïve like a virgin But it's just too late for me

Vice Kid 02:39
You passed away Now you sail across the sun And you bless the stars above You spent your days Carrying a gun And living on the run Your time has come You flew away to a place Where the angels gave you wings So we say, hope and pray You’ll be safe with what we preach You’re buried in the ground Someday we’ll figure out We closed our eyes Were in need of peace of mind Or something along those lines We said goodbye And then we made the sign Of the cross for you and I So young and hostile You flew away to a place Where the angels gave you wings So we say, hope and pray You’ll be safe with what we preach You’re buried in the ground Someday we’ll figure out

Twenty 02:00
I don't want to go to therapy But they say I need it I'm terrified of what the future will be No, I don't want to see it Well, my friend's getting married While I'm used to feeling solitary Tomorrow I'll wake up early To a lifetime of being lonely I'm sick of always feeling unattractive Yeah, I feel so ugly Got no money and I got no direction Yeah, I'm good for nothing I'll get closure when my heart stops beating I'll live as if my life has meaning I'll drop dead before my demons kill me I wasn't planning on being twenty I wasn't planning on being twenty With a lifetime of insecurity

about

After staying relatively quiet during 2016, Phantom Party’s first LP, Hundred Skeletons, serves as a spirited introduction to the indie trio for new fans as well as a gentle reminder for current followers. Phantom Party is comprised of vocalist/guitarist Joshua Capati, bassist Matthew Slusser, and drummer Austin Cooper. They formed in March 2015, released their debut EP, Stellar, that May and embarked on tour after playing only three shows in their hometown of Tempe, Arizona. Hundred Skeletons is the band’s first full length album and their first proper release since 2015.

“Essentially, this was going to be my last thing. I was going to release it, do rock and roll, then die,” says vocalist and guitarist Joshua Capati outside of his home where the album was recorded. “I pretty much lost touch of who I was. I wouldn’t talk to my band for months. In a sense, me losing my mind is reflected in the lyrics. It made me ask ‘what would I say if this is the last thing I release?’”

The album was created during the course of two years and a lost sense of self. “I fluctuate like this all the time. Except this time, I hated eating, I smoked a pack a day, and I was ready to go,” Capati continues. These struggles are made clear throughout the lyrical content of the record, from the poppy “Runaway Bride” where Capati states “Everyday is lonely and every night is unproductive” or Capati belting “the American dream is my nightmare” in “Tunnel of Love”, the swooning first single from the album. Staying true to their “do-it-yourself” recording vision, the full length was recorded in the den of Capati’s Tempe house over the span of five days. The band also learned how to properly record themselves instead of relying too much on outside help. The album was mixed and mastered by Joshua Capati and Bryce Copple.
