Lyrics for Down In A Hole

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 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'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 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) Sand rains down and here I sit Holding rare flowers (Oh I want to be inside of you) In a tomb (Oh I want to be inside) Down in a hole Feeling so small Down in a hole Losing my soul Down in a hole Feeling so small Down in a hole Out of control I'd like to fly But my wings have been so denied
