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.
