Down in a Hole
[Intro]
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]
Down in a hole and I don't know if I can be saved
See my heart I decorate it like a grave
Ahh, 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, losing my soul
Down in a hole, losing control
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 bring no more of my feelings beneath
[Chorus]
Down in a hole, losing my soul
Down in a hole, losing control
I'd like to fly
But my wings have been so denied
[Bridge]
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
(Oh, I want to be inside of you)
Holding rare flowers in a tomb, in bloom
(Oh, I want to be inside)
[Chorus]
Down in a hole, losing my soul
Down in a hole, feeling so small
Down in a hole, losing my soul
Down in a hole, out of control
I'd like to fly
But my wings have been so denied
