Music video for Hollow Man, from the 2015 release The Privateer by The Tosspints.

Lyrics:
There won’t be a reprise this time
An empty man whose empty eyes
Give away no secrets that they hide
They’re left unfound

The story isn’t broken it’s untold
No one listens to tales of hollow men
No mystery of their lives
Here to unfold


This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang not with a song

Not a chance for us to say
The things we wished we'd say
No words or notes to carry on

Don’t say good bye
Don’t say hello
I never wanted this here life
I just want to be alone

Don’t break me down
Don’t take my hand
I am not strong enough to hold
I do not think you understand

I am not a hero
I’m just a hollow man


We lean on each other
Because their history it’s mine
They’re all my brothers
All locked together in our time

Remember us if at all
Not as lost and Violent souls
Just the men who stood together
Shed our blood and paid our tolls

This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang not with a song

Standing alone like brothers
Estranged by memories and pain
We live our lonely lives we’re not the same

Don’t say good bye
Don’t say hello
I never wanted this here life
I just want to be alone

Don’t break me down
Don’t take my hand
I am not strong enough to hold
I do not think you understand

I am not a hero
I’m just a hollow man


This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang not with a song

Not a chance for us to say
The things we wished we'd say
No words or notes to carry on

Don’t say good bye
Don’t say hello
I never wanted this here life
I just want to be alone

Don’t break me down
Don’t take my hand
I am not strong enough to hold
I do not think you understand

I am not a hero
I’m just a hollow man
