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

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 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

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

Don't wanna be a hollow man

Ain't gonna be the hollow man
