Dream Theater - The Root Of All Evil

Proud enough for you to
Call me arrogant
Greedy enough
to be labeled a thief
Angry enough for
me to go and hurt a man
Cruel enough for
me to feel no grief
Never could have
just a part of it
I always need more to get by
Getting right down
to the heart of it
The root of all evil
has been running my whole life

Dirty enough for me to lust
Leaving nothing left to trust
Jealous enough
to still feel envious
Lazy enough to sleep all day
And let my life just waste away
Selfish enough
to make you wait for me
Travelling blindly by our sins
Mislead so easily
Entirely ready to leave all behind
I'm begging to break free
Take all of me
The desires that keep
burning deep inside
Cast them all away
And help to give me
strenght to face another day
I am ready
Help me be what I can't be

Self centered
fear has got a hold me
Clutching my throat
Self righteous anger
running all through me
Ready to explode
Procrastination paralyzing me
Wanting me dead
These obsessions that
keep haunting me
Won't leave my head
Help to do for me what
I can't do myself
Take this tear and pain
I can't break out of
this prison all alone
Help me break these chains
Humility now my only hope
Won't you take all of me
Heal this dying soul
I can feel my body breaking
I can feel my body breaking
I'm ready to let it all go
I can feel my body shaking
Right down to the foundation
The root of it all

Take all of me
The desires that
keep burning deep inside
Cast them all away
And help to give me
strenghtt to face another day
I am ready
Help me be What I can't be
I am ready
Come to me
Take me away

Proud enough for you to
