Music: Dream Theater, Lyrics: Mike Portnoy

|
VI. Ready
|
|
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
|
|
VII. Remove
|
|
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
|
