The Hollow Man

Marillion

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 its 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 paralyses

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
