All or Nothing

“Just don’t lose yourself,”
Is what my mother warned
Think she forgot to say again
We’re both left feeling torn

I’ve got a couple vices
I like to switch between
As an escape artist
What does moderation mean?

Because I like to indulge
Decompress my stress
“Choose healthier outlets,”
I do what I know best

And I have cut back
Been dealing with the shame
How it’s affected my family
Holding onto the blame

Know I’m not the only one
We’re to learn from the past
Craving a quiet mind,
Not doing anything rash

While I’d rather be a kite
Floating somewhere up high
My feet are planted on the ground
Life no longer passing me by

Watch here
