Hollow

Inside I see What ne'er will be Inside I am a hollow man Inside I see What ecstasy Inside I am a hollow man So here I stay Who said the light outlasts the day? That can't be right And is it true that I am free? And is it you who cannot be? I'm swallowed by the night I'm swallowed by the light No matter what I am I only know I've been And that I've seen and felt the crimson tide of love that's gone awry I Have only known that I am not Humanity once gained and lost I wonder at the leaf that falls Each passing year into the dust And settles to the earthen crust As time works wonders, killing all As voices, dying, with completion fall Beneath the thoughts unspoken in the night Beneath the words I'd say if they were right Oh I've been lost in a lie Oh I know how I can cry I'm swallowed deep into the night Forever eterned in the light Inside what is this lie that I see? A heart? Who needs heart's ecstasy? And a soul, yes a soul did I see But 'tis shattered and broken 'Tis me Oh inside, deep inside, all I am Is a shattered, complete, hollow man
