Water me down until you close the flood gates

Pay me back for what I gave in, or don't

Where the room's tied to one of us

The mix up to whom it really goes

Alone is how you fear

Alone is how you sleep

Alone is how you keep your integrity from want and need

 

Distraction tactic

Durastic compassion

Imployed without any directive

Counter my desperation

I'm another consolation

Without any reservation

I'll elope to let go

 

Wind restless, time's infectious

Counting backwards unled

Awkwardly pretentious 

I'm a hollow man

I'm a hollow man, don't swallow your pride for me

I'm a hollow man

I'm a hollow man, don't dispose your life for me

I want to be free, relinquished to see outside the lines

 

Wind restless, time's infectious

Counting backwards unled

Awkwardly pretentious 

I'm a hollow man

I'm a hollow man, don't swallow your pride for me

I'm a hollow man

I'm a hollow man, don't dispose your life for me

I want to be free, relinquished to see outside the lines
