Fighting a Ghost

What do you say
When your heart's not in it?
What do you do
When there's no new beginning?
How do you start
When you've forgotten how to finish?
Or how to be free again?
Or what the word even meant?

Give me somethin' to keep me runnin'
Don't let that fire burn out
Whoa oh oh oh
Seven years down and I'm still fighting
Still swinging at smoke
Still fighting a ghost

Why do we chase after these old horizons?
And what's gonna change
When you finally find 'em?
Wandering lost in an American Wilderness
Of checkout magazines
IMAX movie screens
Chain restaurants
And goddamn coffee shops
