Lyrics

The Hollow Man

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I've been lost inside my head

Echoes fall of me

I took the prize last night for complicated mess

For saying things I didn't mean and don't believe

Believe in me, believe in nothing

Corner me and make me something

I've become the hollow man, have

I've become the hollow man, I see?

Hmm... I see? This echoing

You had placed your trust in me

I went upside down

I emptied up the room

Thirty seconds left

I can't believe

You held your ground

Believe in me, believe in nothing

Corner me and make me something

I've become the hollow man have

I've become the hollow man, I see?

I'm overwhelmed, I'm on repeat

I'm emptied out, I'm incompleted

Trust in me I want to show you

I don't want to be the hollow man

Believe in me, believe in nothing

Corner me and make me something

I've become the hollow man, have

I've become the hollow man, I see

I see
