My black backpacks 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 Im leaving home

Here in the shadows

Im safe, Im free

Ive nowhere else to go but

I cannot stay where I dont belong

Two months pass by and its getting cold

I know Im not lost, Im just alone

But I wont cry, I wont give up, I cant go back now

Waking up is knowing who you really are

Here in the shadows

Im safe, Im free

Ive nowhere else to go but

I cannot stay where I dont belong

In the shadows

Im safe, Im free

Ive nowhere else to go but

I cannot stay here

Show me the shadow where true meaning lies

So much more dismay in empty eyes
