The Root Of All Evil
Lyrics
Proud enough for you to call me arrogant
Greedy enough to be labeled a thief

Cruel enough for me to feel no grief

I can feel my body breaking
Won't you take all of me
Wanting me dead
Heal this dying soul
I am ready, help me be what I can be
I am ready, come to me, take me away
And help to give me strength to face another day
Greedy enough to be labeled a thief
I'm ready to let it all go
I can feel my body breaking
I am ready, help me be what I can be
I always need more to get by
Help me break these chains
Entirely ready to leave it behind
Never could have just a part of it
Cast them all away
Take all of me
The root of all evil has been running my whole life
Ready to explode

Self-centered fear has got a hold of me
The desires that keep burning deep inside
Cast them all away
Clutching my throat
The root of it all
Dirty enough for me to lust
And let my life just waste away
Self righteous anger running all through me
I can't break out of this prison all alone
Procrastination paralyzing me
Jealous enough to still feel envious
And help to give me strength to face another day
Driven blindly by our sins
Angry enough for me to go and hurt a man
Getting right down to the heart of it
Songwriters: Kevin James Labrie, John Myung, John Petrucci, Michael Portnoy, Jordan Rudess
Right down to the foundation
These obsessions that keep haunting me
Selfish enough to make you wait for me
Cruel enough for me to feel no grief
Humility now my only hope
Take all of me
Leaving nothing left to trust
Take this fear and pain
The desires that keep burning deep inside
Won't leave my head
Misled so easily
Begging to break free
I can feel my body shaking
Lazy enough to sleep all day
Proud enough for you to call me arrogant
Help to do for me what I can't do myself
