The Hollow Man Lyrics - Singles - 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 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 realize 

The poison paralyzes 

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 

We're tin-hard and we rattle when we're shaken
