when it burns at both ends


We've got our reasons for most things we do,
We could surely rationalise them through.
A false ring of confidence
Would characterise us true -
Oh, we're deep in the unconscious life
Asleep in the unconscious life,
Peeping through unconscious eyes.
Beyond all normal pain and pleasure
We should treasure,
Treasure the unconscious,
Treasure the unconscious life.
[....]
I'm not in command,
I'm out of control,
I am the Ship's Boy of my soul.... 

The Unconscious Life by Peter Hammill
