[verse] a hollow man sees no evil no future, no past so tired of breathing he does it so fast before it's all slipping from his tired arms [pre-chorus] control the illusion imagine control one giant confusion to hold on it all [chorus] no means to return, no path leading home hollow in heart and hollow in bones a shell of a life that's always alone a dot in existence that's taken too long [instrumental] [verse] keeps moving so heavy like rocks down the hill his hands can't be steady, they shake like a drill empty like paper, never been written no one to hate him, the void can't be filled [pre-chorus] control the illusion imagine control one giant confusion to hold on it all [chorus] no means to return, no path leading home hollow in heart and hollow in bones a shell of a life that's always alone a dot in existence that's taken too long [outro] a hollow man sees no tomorrow no future no past just a life to be borrowed that won't ever last
