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!
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..
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...
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!
