Hollow man

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
