Hollow Man
Well, This lonesome, old world is so far from the same,
It seems all that I once knew has changed.
And as the Sun fades and the clocks melt away,
This old, Lonely feeling remains.
All of the Love that I've found stayed behind,
And the faces all faded in Time.
The Dreams I once dreamed a long time ago,
Are replaced by nightmares of dying alone.
There's fire in my veins and tears in my soul,
Longing for things outside my control.
I try and I try but salvations denied,
So away, far from here, I will fly.
Cause this lonesome, old world is so far from the same,
And I feel like I'm wasting away.
I look at it all and so strange it all feels,
Just whats left of a dream left unreal.
And now the Sun's gone and the silence creeps in,
I just want to feel Love once again.
So I punch a hole there and I punch a hole here,
And at once the whole world disappears.
I just close my eyes and fly far, far away,
To a memory of some distant day.
The world's not so lonely now, a Hero has come,
And made me so comfortably numb.
But so hollow I feel still, so hollow I am,
This man is not me, I just dont understand,
I dont know if I'll change, I dont know if i can,
I'm ashamed this is me, This Hollow Man.
