[Verse 1]
I've been lost inside my head
Echoes fall off me
I took the prize last night for complicatedness
For saying things I didn't mean and don't believe

[Chorus]
Believe in me, believe in nothing
Corner me and make me something
I've become the hollow man
Have I become the hollow man I see?

[Interlude]
Mmmmmm, I see
This echoing

[Verse 2]
You have placed your trust in me
I went upside-down
I emptied out the room in thirty seconds flat
I can't believe you held your ground

[Chorus]
Believe in me, believe in nothing
Corner me and make me something
I've become the hollow man
Have I become the hollow man I see?

[Bridge]
I'm overwhelmed, I'm on repeat
I'm emptied out, I'm incomplete
You trusted me, I want to show you
I don't want to be the hollow man

[Chorus]
Believe in me, believe in nothing
Corner me and make me something
I've become the hollow man
Have I become the hollow man I see?

R.E.M. were an American rock band from Athens, Georgia, formed in 1980 by singer Michael Stipe, guitarist Peter Buck, bassist Mike Mills, and drummer Bill Berry.

Berry quit the band in April 1997, as they were getting together to record demos for the album Up. He was not replaced on a permanent basis, but the band used an assortment of drummers in his place.
