Emptiness, consuming me Head in hands, I can hardly speak Looking for solitude Lost in humanity True 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 Sadness comes knocking constantly Filling up my eyes, for all to see Peace will come someday I pray that it finds a way Darkness caressing my mind and soul My spirits rejecting, I'm feeling whole Emptiness goes away Fills with the light of day Don't wanna be a hollow man Ain't gonna be the hollow man I rise up like the pheonix from the ashes of an older way With wisdom gained, I turn away I turned away Hollow man find yourself some other Plan Don't wanna be a hollow man Ain't gonna be the hollow man
