My black backpack's stuffed with broken dreams
20 bucks should get me through the week
never said a word of discontentment
fought it a thousand times but now
i'm leaving home
[chorus:]
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 am 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
[chorus]
[chorus]
Show me the shadow where true meaning lies
so much more is made in empty eyes
