Nothing hurts a hollow man
Nothing harms a hollow man
No nerves has he to feel
No new skin to cover cuts
No wounds are there to heal

Nothing harms a hollow man
Not gun or axe or knife
You cannot make him bleed or choke
You cannot end his life

But a hollow man's existence
Is not as nice as it would seem
A hollow man can feel no pain
But also cannot dream

You cannot harm a hollow man
No matter how you try
His misery can never end
For he will never die
