hollow man

hey hollow man

where did you leave your heart

hey hollow man 

its your lies that tore us apart

you left your soul worlds away

with all of your history and foul play 

and if only you weren’t all tin inside

if only you were able to swallow your pride

hollow man if you could understand my pain

be able to overcome all of your shame

if you felt with your heart instead of your brain

we wouldn’t be left with a burnt out flame

hey hollow man when did you lose your way

let go of everything you offered - all your beauty

when did you become so numb and cold

if only you knew what you had was gold

the sad thing is i miss you though your empty

even though all my pain still feels so heavy

and even though your lost i wish you were here

any where closer, anywhere near


hollow man I hope you find what you lost
no matter how long, my fingers are crossed
