I sometimes feel like I am hollow,

I cannot lead, and I cannot follow.

I have no soul, and I have no mind,

There is nothing else left to find.

I've burned so much my heart is cold,

I only do what I am told.

Without feelings one cannot be,

And this is what has happened to me.

 

I do not feel like I'm a man,

And I don't think I ever can.

My heart is hollow, life is dead,

My veins are always pumping lead.

With ever-sluggish movement, I rise,

Only to endure another days lies.

Cold-hearted and soulless, my only thought

Is to do what I was taught

 

I work all night and sleep all day,

That's all I know, there's no other way.

You have to follow before you can lead.

My life is full of evil deeds.

Nobody knows, and nobody will.

I move about silently, ready to kill.

I'll never know how to really live,

Until my punishment God gives.
