My black backpack stuffed with broken dreams
Twenty bucks should get me through the week
Never said a word of discontentment
Fought it a thousand times but now I'm leaving homeHere in the shadows, I'm safe, I'm free
I've nowhere else to go
But I cannot stay where I don't belongTwo months pass by and it's getting cold
I know I'm not lost I'm just alone
But I won't cry, I won't give up, I can't go back now
Waking up is knowing who you really areHere in the shadows, I'm safe, I'm free
I've nowhere else to go
But I cannot stay where I don't belongIn the shadows, I'm safe, I'm free
I've nowhere else to go
But I cannot stay hereOh, show me the shadow where true meaning lies
So much more dismay in empty eyes
