Eden
Guster
Parachute (1998)

All I want is the world
And everything for me
You can rattle off your talk
All that matters is what I see

If you break me down
Break me down
Selfish desire
Is all you'll blame
'Cause desperate times
Calls for desperate measures
and I am not ashamed

Oh it took me a long time
to come to this
But I have chosen that path
I am only for me

All my dreams are so closed
If I open them to you
You can count them all as lies
You can believe me
Or you can believe the truth

If you break me down
Break me down
Selfish desire
Is all you'll blame
'Cause desperate times
Calls for desperate measures
and I am not ashamed

Oh it took me a long time
to come to this
But I have chosen that path
I am only for me

But I could let you in
Put your fears on the shelf
There's only room cause it helps myself
But I could let you in
But it's to no avail
I only listen cause it helps myself

Oh it took me a long time
to come to this
But I have chosen that path
I am only for me

I took a cane from a blind man
I tasted the fruit in the Garden of Eden
When I walk out of here
I know I'll stand clear
But the taste in my mouth remains

Oh it took me a long time
to come to this
I am only for me
