Root Of All Evil Lyrics - Octavarium - Dream Theater

Proud enough for you to call me arrogant 

Greedy enough to be labeled a thief 

Angry anough 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

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

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 strenght 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 

Photos 

Help to do for me what I can't do myself 

Take this fear and pain 

I can't break out 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 

Tak all of me 

And the drive that keep burning deep inside 

Cast it all away 

And help to give me strenght to face another day 

I am ready 

Help me what I can be 

I am ready 

Come to me 

Take me away
