This Facility Cannot Accept: Dirt

My emo song. Been listening to this song for more than ten years when I'm feeling down and out. EH, men also can feel sad what, ex-lecturers also can feel sad what, Ph.D students also can feel sad what. So what's bothering me, I'd rather not say la. Everything seems to go south but as always, let me put on a huge smile and spread it around. Adrian Matthews said, that's exactly what a clown is. Am listening to the song now. I don't know how to upload a video here, actually more of not really bothered to. So here are the lyrics:

Down in a hole, by Alice In Chains

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 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 they've 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

Usually I feel better after listening it around 15-20 times. Hehehehehe. I'm at the first go. Anyway, I prefer the unplugged version.
