LyricsThe 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

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

Selfcentered

fear has got a hold of me

Clutching my throat

Selfrighteous

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 it 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
