In The Thrall Of It All

Go slow Cruel to himself and generous about it Cruel to the world, not hard to spot it Can't give up, shut up on a tirade Off the top of his head, so ripe becoming rotten He's hit the wailing wall To pass out hard upon He's kissed the wailing wall In the thrall of it all In the thrall of it all In the thrall of it all In the thrall of it all Failed his name, no care to hide it Failed escape that's documented Instilled or distilled, the spike or the chill It's immolation, the **** of nonexistence He's hit the wailing wall To pass out hard upon He's kissed the wailing wall In the thrall of it all In the thrall of it all In the thrall of it all Headstone tells nothing about him Headstone reads two decades wasted A funeral pyre, no one to burn it Because self-destruction brings misfortune In the thrall of it all In the thrall of it all No lower heaven for his bones Nor handing life back what it's owed Caretaker careless, what he's sown Porously reaching his lowest low The negative has just begun Joining the war, impossible In the thrall of it all In the thrall of it all In the thrall of it all In the thrall of it all In the thrall of it all In the thrall of it all In the thrall of it all In the thrall of it all --- In the Thrall of It All - Down
