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
You don't understand who they
Thought I was supposed to be
Look at me now, a man
Who won't let himself be

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

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

Oh, I want to be inside of you

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.

Song Facts  
Cantrell said, "Down In A Hole is in my top three, personally. It's to my long-time love. It's the reality of my life, the path I've chosen and in a weird way it kind of foretold where we are right now. It's hard for us to both understand...that this life is not conducive to much success with long-term relationships."

A highlight of the record. Brings depression to new lows.

this song is... yeah. definitely a sad one. i've played this song on many occasions but just now i had to stop myself from bursting into tears while listening. it isn't in the least bit contrived, either; it's genuinely tragic. makes me miss layne a whole lot.

I still turn introspective whenever I hear this song. Pretty much easy understanding of why every Alice in Chains release went gold.

Is Layne the one who wrote this, I thought it was Jerry. Either way it is a great song the acoustic on here is great, and the dual harmony from Layne and Jerry is fantastic I love this song!
