[00:10.73]<VI. Ready>
[01:17.57]
[01:28.48]Proud enough for you to call me arrogant
[01:35.17]Greedy enough to be labeled a thief
[01:41.88]Angry enough for me to go and hurt a man
[01:48.59]Cruel enough for me to feel no grief
[01:53.56]
[01:54.47]Never could have just a part of it
[01:57.67]I always need more to get by
[02:01.15]Getting right down to the heart of it
[02:04.32]The root of all evil has been running my whole life
[02:08.36]
[02:22.18]Dirty enough for me to lust
[02:25.51]Leaving nothing left to trust
[02:28.88]Jealous enough to still feel envious
[02:35.57]Lazy enough to sleep all day
[02:38.90]And let my life just waste away
[02:42.27]Selfish enough to make you wait for me
[02:47.19]
[02:48.37]Driven blindly by our sins
[02:51.01]Misled so easily
[02:54.87]Entirely ready to leave it behind
[02:57.99]I'm begging to break free
[03:00.95]
[03:03.25]Take all of me
[03:06.57]The desires that keep burning deep inside
[03:16.55]Cast them all away
[03:19.81]And help to give me strength to face another day
[03:28.42]I am ready
[03:33.44]Help me be what I can be
[03:41.00]
[03:42.02]<VII. Remove>
[03:55.57]
[03:57.01]Self-centered fear has got a hold of me
[04:00.54]Clutching my throat
[04:04.31]Self righteous anger running all through me
[04:08.01]Ready to explode
[04:10.04]
[04:11.69]Procrastination paralyzing me
[04:15.42]Wanting me dead
[04:19.21]These obsessions that keep haunting me
[04:22.89]Won't leave my head
[04:25.17]
[04:26.20]Help to do for me what I can't do myself
[04:29.85]Take this fear and pain
[04:33.55]I can't break out this prison all alone
[04:37.25]Help me break these chains
[04:39.86]
[04:40.95]Humility now my only hope
[04:47.16]Won't you take all of me
[04:51.12]Heal this dying soul
[04:54.55]
[04:56.69]I can feel my body breaking
[04:59.69]I can feel my body breaking
[05:02.59]I'm ready to let it all go
[05:07.71]I can feel my body shaking
[05:10.71]Right down to the foundation
[05:15.02]The root of it all
[05:17.92]
[06:26.63]Take all of me
[06:29.73]The desires that keep burning deep inside
[06:40.07]Cast it all away
[06:43.22]And help to give me strength to face another day
[06:51.74]I am ready
[06:56.85]Help me be what I can be
[07:05.24]I am ready
[07:10.29]Come to me
[07:13.20]Take me away
[07:17.81]
