Down in a Hole

[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
