The Root of All Evil (with the Octavarium Orchestra) |
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 |
Driven blindly by our sins |
Misled so easily |
Entirely ready to leave it 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 strength to face another day |
I am ready |
Help me be what I can be |
Self-centered fear has got a hold of 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 fear 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 strength to face another day |
I am ready |
Help me be what I can be |
I am ready |
Come to me |
Take me away |
