Jerry Cantrell
Down in a Hole
[Intro]
Bury me softly in this womb
I give this part of me to you
Sand rains down and here I sit
Holding rare flowers in a tomb, in bloom

[Verse 1]
Down in a hole and I don't know if I can be saved
See my heart, I decorate it like a grave
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]
Down in a hole, feeling so small
Down in a hole, losing my soul
I'd like to fly but my wings have been so denied

[Verse 2]
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]
Down in a hole, feeling so small
Down in a hole, losing my soul
I'd like to fly but my wings have been so denied
[Intro reprise]
Bury me softly in this womb
(Oh I want to be inside of you)
I give this part of me for you
(Oh I want to be inside of you)
Sand rains down and here I sit
Holding rare flowers
(Oh I want to be inside of you)
In a tomb
(Oh I want to be inside)

[Chorus]
Down in a hole, feeling so small
Down in a hole, losing my soul
Down in a hole, feeling so small
Down in a hole, out of control
I'd like to fly but my wings have been so denied
