my black backpack stuffed with broken dreams
twenty bucks should get me through the week
never said a word of discontentment
faught it a thousand times but now
i'm leaving home
here in the shadows
i'm safe, i'm free
i've nowhere else to go
but i cannot stay where i don't belong
two 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 are
here in the shadows
i'm safe, i'm free
i've nowhere else to go
but i cannot stay where i don't belong
in the shadows
i'm safe, i'm free
i've nowhere else to go
but i cannot stay here
oh, show me the shadow where true meaning lies
so much more dismay in empty eyes.
