You might wake up and find
possessions bring you bliss
desire leaves you blind
A price that must be paid
or there will come a day
the truth cannot be saved
no one's listening anyway
take it all away
what is left to find
essence and the flesh
is all that's left behind
an empty shell remains
nothing left to save
the choices that you've made
you been digging your own grave
careful what you wish
can' help see the irony
the very thing I needed
the very thing that I wanted
is the thing that's killing me
just remember this
there may be a risk
'cause having all you dream
may not be what it seems
careful what you wish
can't help but see the irony
the very thing I needed
the very thing I hoped
would set me free
is the thing that's blinding me
careful what you wish
