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 spirit's 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 phoenix from the ashes of an older way
with wisdom gained I turn away, I turn away
hollow man, find yourself some other prey

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
