[Intro: 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
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 and Jerry Cantrell]
Down in a hole
Losin my soul
Down in a hole
Losin' control
I'd like to fly
But my wings have been so denied

[Verse 2: Layne]
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 thе taste
I have been guilty of kicking myself in thе teeth
I will speak no more of my feelings beneath

[Chorus: Layne and Jerry]
Down in a hole
Losin' my soul
Down in a hole
Losin' control
I'd like to fly
But my wings have been so denied

[Bridge: Jerry and Layne]
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 and Jerry]
Down in a hole
Losin' my soul
Down in a hole
Feelin' so small
Down in a hole
Losin' my soul
Down in a hole
Out of control
I'd like to fly
But my wings have been so denied
