Down in a Hole

Lyrics

[Intro: Layne Staley] Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh [Intro: Layne Staley & Jerry Cantrell, Jerry Cantrell] Bury me softly in this womb I give this part of me for you Sand rains down and here I sit Holding rare flowers in a tomb, in bloom [Verse 1: Layne Staley] Down in a hole and I don't know if I can be saved See my heart, I decorate it like a grave Oh, you don't understand who they thought I was supposed to be Look at me now, a man who won't let himself be [Chorus: Layne Staley & Jerry Cantrell, Jerry Cantrell, Layne Staley] Down in a hole, feelin' so small Down in a hole, losin' my soul I'd like to fly But my wings have been so denied [Verse 2: Layne Staley] Down in a hole and they've put all the stones in their place I've eaten the sun so my tongue has been burned of the taste I have been guilty of kicking myself in the teeth I will speak no more of my feelings beneath [Chorus: Layne Staley & Jerry Cantrell, Jerry Cantrell, Layne Staley] Down in a hole, feelin' so small Down in a hole, losin' my soul I'd like to fly But my wings have been so denied [Bridge: Layne Staley & Jerry Cantrell, Jerry Cantrell, Layne Staley] Bury me softly in this womb (oh, I wanna be inside of you) I give this part of me for you (oh, I wanna be inside of you) Sand rains down and here I sit (oh, I wanna be inside of you) Holding rare flowers in a tomb, in bloom (oh, I wanna be inside) [Chorus: Layne Staley & Jerry Cantrell, Layne Staley] Down in a hole, feelin' so small Down in a hole, losin' my soul Down in a hole, feelin' so small Down in a hole, out of control I'd like to fly But my wings have been so denied
