How could you be so blinded by your own greed?

I tried to relax one day, found myself freed

Pretend that the walls were screaming for more

And crawling through the jungle to the demon's door

You can do what you want to, but maybe you should cut it out

And see if it bleeds, yeah, see if it bleeds

You've made the world so heavy

It's pulling you down like gravity

Your life is end over end over end

And it's tumbling down the mountain

And it's picking up speed (And it's picking up speed)

And it's picking up speed, yeah (Keep on picking up)

And it's getting harder and harder and harder

And harder and harder

To take a new direction, oh, the pull's too strong

(To take a new direction)

Leave that poison out before too long

Make my soul breathe fire, take my hand (One step higher)

Take your life one step higher, free your mind (Free your mind)

Free your mind (Free your mind), free your mind

Greed holds you down on your knees

Eats all your worldly needs

See how your mind is at ease

Free from this swollen disease

He stands alone in the fields

Me, I know just how it feels

When I first met you, you were young and unimpressed

By things of value, which you now lust to possess

You want it so bad that you're going crazy, you're obsessed

With the things that you have, can you buy yourself respect? Yeah

I'd rather lose everything than gather gold like a king

With that crown on my head and a stone in my heart

Bleeding me dry 'til it tears me apart

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
