Dream Theater

Dream Theater is an American progressive metal band formed in 1985 under the name Majesty by John Petrucci, John Myung, and Mike Portnoy while they attended Berklee College of Music in Massachusetts. They subsequently dropped out of their studies to further concentrate on the band that would ultimately become Dream Theater. Though a number of lineup changes followed, the three original members remained together along with James LaBrie and Jordan Rudess until September 8, 2010 when Portnoy left the band. In October 2010, the band held auditions for a drummer to replace Portnoy. Mike Mangini was announced as the new permanent drummer on April 29, 2011. more »

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 

Self-centered fear has got a hold 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
And the drive 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
