Down in a Cold, Dirty Well Lyrics
Painted a picture of how it's supposed to turn out - turn out.
Down in a cold, dirty well and I cannot climb out - climb out.
Can't see no light, can't hear no bells.
They walk right over me, can't hear my yells.
They state me missing and search all over the town,
Look left and look right, but they'll never look down - don't look down.
Dig me my grave,
I won't be saved.
I won't be saved,
So dig me my grave.
Helpless,
Hopeless,
Cold and lonely,
Only you can save me now.
Trembling and shivering,
Scared, I want this all to end.
If only you could hear me now.
My mind is spinning around and around and around.
Hey, yeah. On my way down, on my down.
Louder I yell, the deeper I sink.
Closer to hell, far from my instincts.
Helpless,
Hopeless,
Cold and lonely,
Only you can save me now.
Trembling and shivering,
Scared, I want this all to end.
If only you could hear me now.
I'm on my way down.
I'm on my way down.
I'm on my way down.
I'm on my way down.
And I'll never feel that beat again.
Oh no, no. And I will never see the light.
And I will never see those bells ringing.
Helpless,
Hopeless,
Cold and lonely,
Only you can save me now.
Trembling and shivering,
Scared, I want this all to end.
If only you could hear me now.
Hey, I'm on my way down -
My way down.
My way down.
My way down.
My way down.
My way down.
My way down.
Dig me my grave,
I won't be saved.
I won't be saved,
So dig me my grave.
Down in a cold, dirty well and I cannot climb out.
Down in a cold, dirty well and I cannot climb out - climb out.
Can't see no light, can't hear no bells.
They walk right over me, can't hear my yells.
Look left and look right, but they'll never look down - don't look down.
I won't be saved.
I won't be saved,
So dig me my grave.
Hopeless,
Cold and lonely,
Only you can save me now.
Trembling and shivering,
Scared, I want this all to end.
If only you could hear me now.
Hey, yeah. On my way down, on my down.
Louder I yell, the deeper I sink.
Closer to hell, far from my instincts.
Hopeless,
Cold and lonely,
Only you can save me now.
Trembling and shivering,
Scared, I want this all to end.
If only you could hear me now.
I'm on my way down.
I'm on my way down.
I'm on my way down.
Oh no, no. And I will never see the light.
And I will never see those bells ringing.
Hopeless,
Cold and lonely,
Only you can save me now.
Trembling and shivering,
Scared, I want this all to end.
If only you could hear me now.
My way down.
My way down.
My way down.
My way down.
My way down.
My way down.
I won't be saved.
I won't be saved,
So dig me my grave.

this song makes me think of the ring when that girl is stuck in the well...
LMFAO!!!! OuchThatHurts, i was thinking the saaaame thing! i just heard a little bit of this song on the interview he did a couple of days ago. Is this song on the album? I don't have it yet bc it's not on itunes.
This is one of my favorite songs, I love the intro. I think its about a guy who is physically here, but not emotionally or mentally. I think he is trying to act as if everything is okay on the outside, but on the inside he is torn up. Maybe he is doing something that is not good for him and he is crying out for help. He wants someone to get him out of the cycle he is in. He wants people to notice how torn up he is and he feels scared because he can't confide his problem in anyone. The more he wants to conide in someone, the lonlier he feels because he knows that he can't or that they might not understand him.
