Chasing This Ghost

All my life I've been haunted
Building castles in the air
Everything that I thought I wanted
This irony that's hard to bear
All the smoke and the mirrors
A world you're not meant to see
Tin gods and glorified pictures
Falling down, down before me

What is it that you want the most?
Just out of reach, but, oh, so close
Bound to the choice I never chose
I'm always chasing, chasing this ghost
I am chasing this ghost
I am chasing this ghost

For so long I've been restless
Like I'm reaching for the wind
Till the day it's no longer endless
Grip the air as it slowly thins
No matter how much I fight it
It's pulling me back
No matter how much I hide it
Pulling me back, pulling me back

What is it that you want the most?
Just out of reach, but, oh, so close
Bound to the choice I never chose
I'm always chasing, chasing this ghost
I am chasing this ghost
I am chasing this ghost

It's in my blood, part of my soul
It's like a flood, it wouldn't go, oh

No matter how much I fight it
It's pulling me back
No matter how much I hide it
Pulling me back, pulling me back

What is it that you want the most?
Just out of reach, but, oh, so close
Bound to the choice I never chose
I'm always chasing, chasing this ghost
I am chasing this ghost
I am chasing this ghost
I am chasing this ghost
I am chasing this ghost
