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

Here in the shadows

I'm safe

I'm free

I've no where else to go but I cannot stay where I don't belong

2 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

Here in the shadows

I'm safe

I'm free

I've no place to go but I cannot stay where I don't belong

In the shadows

I'm safe

I'm free

I've no place to go but I cannot stay here, oh

Show me the shadow where true meaning lies

So much more dismay in empty eyes
