    I was in prison in 1995 and listened to a guy sing this from the cell across the tank from mine. Was the most moving thing I'd heard in my life, but you have rivalled it, thank you!

    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, 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
    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
    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 in a tomb (oh I want to be inside of you)
    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
    I'd like to fly but my wings have been so denied

So I was animated and pissed off at him for putting his mom thru his drug n alcohol abuse n it was the last time that I ever talked to him and the last time that I ever seen Jim was 3 nights b4 Bill died back in 2011.

One day she had headphones on and asked if I wanted to listen with her. I asked who it was and she said "Alice In Chains" and I said PFFFTTT sounds like a chick band. She never talked to me again.
    3 years later Beavis and Butthead is on in the background and I hear this amazing song....INTO THE FLOOD AGAIN, SAME OLD.....

      taliwakka27 Emo?? Please don’t call Alice In Chains emo again. Emo is a clothing style and music genre and having problems in life doesn’t make you that by default. This is alternative metal or “the Seattle sound.”

    I dig the "empty hallway" acoustics you put on there. Kinda feels like you're actually trapped in a hole & an angelic voice is guiding your way back up. This is what CZcams was made for.

    This is one of the best covers I've ever heard. You add so much emotion to each word. I listen to this every once in a while now.
