A hollow man in a shallow world

The novelty of anonymity long faded

Searching for the last good thing he remembers

So obsessed with an ideal existence

That the slightest imperfection is catastrophic

Through the perpetual night

So far from where he started,

and racing towards the end

Disappointment awaits him again

The deepest cut elicits a cry

From the deeper layers of past lives

Neglected by design, forsaken by time

Awaiting an imminent demise

Unshackled, shooting towards the sky

where freedom lies

Left to perish in the cruel light of day

All that's left is a vessel of decay

Let the numbness take over

Or take pleasure from the pain

Misled by the promise of another day

Victimized by the passage of time

So slowly comes this afterlife paradise

Different paths lead to different fates

What path to take?

Left to perish in the cruel light of day

All that's left is a life in decay

The deepest cut elicits a cry

From the deeper layer of past lives

Neglected by design, forsaken by time

Awaiting an imminent demise

Who cares where the blame lies?

There's no glory in living -- the defied die young

The nature of existence is its inevitable end

Let them die -- eternity is where peace resides
