You can have anything you want,
but you can't have everything
A time comes in everyone's life
when you must choose what's worth risking
I've been living day to day,
chasing something I can't even see
A competition I didn't even know I was in
until I realized that I was losing
Now what's at stake and what I have left
is being weighed by Justice's scales.
All I'm left with is the skeleton of who I used to be
and a face that I barely recognize as my own

You can have anything you want,

A time comes in everyone's life

I've been living day to day,
chasing something I can't even see
A competition I didn't even know I was in
until I realized that I was losing
Now what's at stake and what I have left
is being weighed by Justice's scales.
All I'm left with is the skeleton of who I used to be
and a face that I barely recognize as my own
