I think I have become one of the hollow men |
|
As I shine on the outside more these days |
|
I can feel the outside feeding on my inside |
|
Leaves a growing, darkness in it's place |
|
I think I have become one of the hollow men |
|
I think I have become one of the lonely |
|
Now that everybody talks to me |
|
I feel I have become one of the empty |
|
Hollow men can stop you with the twinkling of an eye |
|
Hollow men can take you without even reaching out |
|
Hollow men have got you long before you realize |
|
The poison paralyzes |
|
I think I have become one of a pair of men |
|
It's a feeling I've been having for some time |
|
I look down upon myself and watch my movements |
|
A blind eye sees the fragile vandalized |
|
Watch this cold world dishing up these endless hollow men |
|
Find us anywhere you look, come and meet our friends |
|
Stand us in our silly clothes, put our batteries in |
|
Line us up like fairground ducks, watch us grin and grin |
|
See the lies behind our eyes |
|
See the will to win |
|
We'll buy you and we'll sell you |
|
But perhaps we'll save your skin |
|
Sit quietly and listen to the breeze |
|
The hollow and the lonely listen too |
|
Sniff the air for something we can use |
|
We're thin hard and we rattle when we're shaken |
