This is me saying farewell
To all of those who live to sell
There must be more of life for me to see
Than famous folks and hip parties
Desperation, drugs and vanity
Give me something real, tangible and free

Hollow glow
What do you have and who do you know?
Hollow glow
Sometimes the hardest thing is learning to say no

Traveled far from all that's dear to me
Sold my soul to feel more free
Bought my friends, forgot my family
Addicted to cacophony
Falling further with each passing year
Feeding in self-celebratory fear

Hollow glow
What do you have and who do you know?
Hollow glow
Sometimes the hardest thing is learning to say no

But these blues won't seem to pass
And this pain it holds too fast
My dreams they all died a decade ago
I'm older now but I can't let go
Of who I thought I'd be... it's all too much for me

Hollow glow
What do you have and who do you know?
Hollow glow
Sometimes the hardest thing is learning to say no
Hollow glow
