lyrics

DOWN IN A HOLE
by Alice In Chains
performed by Paul Weinfield

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

Down in a hole
And I don’t know if I can be saved
See my heart
I decorate it like a grave
No you don’t understand
Who they thought I was supposed to be
Look at me now
I’m a man who won’t let himself be.

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

Down in a hole
And they’ve put all the stones in their place
(I tried to find the river,
But the river was dry)
I’ve eaten the sun
Though my tongue has been burned of the taste.
(I tried to find forgiveness
But I ran out of time)

I have been guilty
Of kicking myself in the teeth
(Drop me in the soil
Where I can belong)
I will speak no more
Of these feelings beneath
(Drape me in the shadows
Where I can move on)

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

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)
I give this part of me for you
(Oh I want to be inside of you)
I give this part of me for you
