Hollow Man

Emptiness consuming me Head in hands I can hardly speak Looking for solitude Lost in humanity Slow knowledge leads to suffering A constant quest An endless dream Searching for inner peace Hidden so deep in me Don't wanna be a hollow man Ain't gonna be the hollow man Don't wanna be a hollow man Ain't gonna be the hollow man Sadness comes knocking constantly Filling up my eyes For all to see Peace will come some day I pray that it finds a way Darkness caressing my mind and soul My spirit's rejecting I'm feeling cold Emptiness goes away Flees with the night and days Don't wanna be a hollow man Ain't gonna be the hollow man Don't wanna be a hollow man Ain't gonna be the hollow man I'll rise up Like the phoenix from the ashes I'll float away With wisdom I turn away I turn away Hollow man Find yourself some other friend Don't wanna be a hollow man Ain't gonna be the hollow man Don't wanna be a hollow man Ain't gonna be the hollow man
