Marillion - The Hollow Man

(Music: Marillion Lyrics: Steve Hogarth & John Helmer)

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 realise
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 vandalised
