[Verse 1:]
People think I show no love
Could it be that I have no love to give?
Every time I open my heart to somebody in the past
All they did was shut the lid
And I've had enough of it
Emotions are dangerous like giving a drug to kids
So many people are dependent on love
Like a vampire needs blood to live
And they wonder why I show no emotion
You can wanna cry for so low you're roasting
I can feel the high with no roller coasting
Part of me does not let go, show's devotion
I did away with all the feelings I reside; within me and were plenty
Now inside there's nothing
The type of void that'll make you wanna k**
And the only time I feel is when I'm f**ing
I think I've lost my mind again, it's idling
I maybe need a vitamin, some Niacin
I never need to cry again, I feel like the sad sound of a violin
Cause I've decided in, letting all my feelings go
Now I'm no longer feeling low
But sometimes I feel like a sociopath
And I think I might be going in a k**ing mode
I walk around with a blank stare
Hoes looking for love I can't give it ain't there
That's attention I can't spare, and I can't care
If you think that it ain't fair
I'm completely jaded, and that sh** swallows innocent lives
But I do not waddle, sit and then cry
I'm emotionally hollow on the inside
[Hook:]
You see I used to have nothing but love inside of me
But too many people stabbed me in the back and lied to me
I used to think that my love ones would all be there for me
But now I choose who I let in my circle way more carefully
And now I'm jaded, it's a miracle I made it
Every time I try to show love
All they always show me back is hatred
This life does not treat me gently I've given it all I can
And now I'm completely empty call me the Hollow Man
[Verse 2:]
If everything happens for a reason
Was I meant to be this way?
I don't really see another option
Turning cold is the only way I live to see this day
I await, to higher rates, of lying snakes, who try and hate
So many people that I used to have love for
Ended up putting me in dire straights
And I elate, all of the fake friends, who take ends
Waiting and wonder when they will break in
Awaiting, for the day for you'll finally cave in
They gathering behind your back and n***a debating
And hating, on you and plottin on making
Another move, guess Satan awakened
Within, I'm giving them a minimum of hesitation
They leave me aching, but the signs is vacant
Cause I've forsaken, all of my emotions
No notions, till me living in anger
But it doesn't mean you're not in imminent danger
Hit em with changers, till it gets stranger
Dealing with an apathetic sociopath embedded
With the grind, focus on the cash and get it
Indebted to my own hollowness it gets ma**ive credit
[Hook:]
You see I used to have nothing but love inside of me
But too many people stabbed me in the back and lied to me
I used to think that my love ones would all be there for me
But now I choose who I let in my circle way more carefully
And now I'm jaded, it's a miracle I made it
Every time I try to show love
All they always show me back is hatred
This life does not treat me gently I've given it all I can
And now I'm completely empty call me the Hollow Man
[Verse 3:]
People wanna keep acting
Like they wanna get up under my skin and get a re-action
Wanna see the heat blastin'
Tryna take me out of the game because I keep mashing
And rapping with elite fashion
So they try to find a way
They can get me to slip up and then give them the time of day
But I ignore all the games that they try to play
I'll never be a mindless pawn
I stay to myself anti social and withdrawn
And people keep giving me reasons not to f** with them
And dammit the list long
It is what it is I really don't give a f** I'm indifferent
People think I'm an a**hole because I don't f** with them
I don't give a sh**
End of discussion, don't be mad cause I trust none
And not even just one
I don't even trust my own dick when the lust comes
You've never seen so much substance
From someone who's filled with a vacancy
Wait and see, they call me the hollow man
But you'll never be breaking me
[Hook:]
You see I used to have nothing but love inside of me
