My black backpack's stuffed with broken dreams
Twenty bucks should get me through the week
Never said a word of discontentment

Thought it a thousand times but now I'm leaving home

Here in my 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 my 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


Show me the shadow where true meaning lies
So much more dismay in empty eyes
