All Things In Moderation ft. Louie & Tickle

from The Pageant by Solareye

/

lyrics

The fire is hot and the water is cold still I consume
I consume and my belly’s never full
‘All things in moderation’ – the saying isn’t new
But from social observation the saying isn’t true
It’s a paradoxical equation: When I’m out I’m self abusive
And when I’m not out I’m reculsive
A healthy mind-state’s not conducive
Remind me when I’m blinded
By the white lightening of a bevied night
For the next week that I might greet
Every time I open my heavy eyes
Whatever the scandal was. Plans get cancelled on.
Cracked and alone.
I never answer the door and calls go straight to answerphone.
‘Hello this is Dave Hook’s phone…’
In hiding or oot on a mission
The contradiction: the human condition.
Heard it before, don’t bother to listen.
High spirits, another narcotic collision
You know should just call it sufficient
Getting sober is followed by awkward reliving
Going over the horrors and visions
The lowest yir psyche is locked in a prison
Falling to bits, scarring ma conscience
All of this stuck in para quadrant
Smoking and sniffing then aff it again.
Euphoria, misery, laughing, depressed.
Exposed from the depths and then having the bends.
Hoping I’m different then grabbing a pen.
Exposing a spiritual famine I guess.
The exposure is lit my ma camera lens.
