One of the most talented rock singers I've ever listened to: Layne Staley of 'Alice in Chains'. Died from heroin overdose in Seattle, Washington, 2002. RIP. *** LYRICS: 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 dont know if I can be saved See my heart I decorate it like a grave You dont understand who they Thought I was supposed to be Look at me now a man Who wont let himself be Down in a hole, feelin so small Down in a hole, losin my soul Id like to fly, But my wings have been so denied Down in a hole and theyve put all The stones in their place Ive 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, feelin so small Down in a hole, losin my soul Id 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...in bloom Oh I want to be inside... 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, outta control Id like to fly but my Wings have been so denied *** Lasrever: Upload partially in response to Facetious_for_Kicks' comment on a video tribute I uploaded on Kurt Cobain of Nirvana: "The lead voice of my generation.

Not altogether fond of chorus for this song. But that voice... To see old interview of Layne Staley and Alice in Chains go to Maxisminion's upload: http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=71c_1175672621
