Hollow Man!

Hollow Man!

 

Tick tock tick tock

Lub dub lub dub

Dragging each other

Through the void

Hollow man

Has no choice, but

To listen, to follow

 

Its morning, wake-up!

Still that same

It’s night, sleep!

Yet no change

Programmed manners

Mechanical acts

Rein of noise

Tick tock tick tock

Lub dub lub dub

Growing all over

Locking all escape route

Hollow man imprisoned

Finds nothing to salvage

And whom, what for

Hears nothing, lost in those shrill

Tick tock tick tock

Lub dub lub dub

 

No more than a living dead

Piece of rotten flesh and blood

Or a walking ghost, cursed of its own shadow

Desires none, runs behind unknown

Walks by mirror, irresistible temptations

To see self, vows to be unbiased, yet

Only if it could hold, thought’s threshold, and

Finds it drowning in the beats of

Tick tock tick tock

Lub dub lub dub.
