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 wanna be inside of you) I give this part of me for you (oh, I wanna be inside of you) Sand rains down and here I sit (oh, I wanna be inside of you) Holding rare flowers 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 I'd like to fly But my wings have been so denied

“Down in a Hole” é a quarta faixa do álbum Dirt (1992) do Alice in Chains, mas aparece como décima segunda em algumas versões do disco.
A música foi escrita por Jerry Cantrell sobre sua então namorada, Courtney Clarke, e ele inicialmente sentiu que a canção era muito “leve”.
Após a banda responder positivamente, a faixa foi gravada e lançada como single em 1993, alcançando a 10ª posição na Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks.
Uma versão acústica da canção foi apresentada no concerto da banda para o programa MTV Unplugged em 1996.
“Down in a Hole” também foi incluída no box Music Bank de 1999 e, em 2009, uma nova versão acústica interpretada por William DuVall apareceu como faixa-bônus na edição japonesa do álbum Black Gives Way to Blue.
