In The Thrall Of It All Lyrics - Down

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 lust 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
