My black backpacks stuffed with broken dreams Twenty bucks should get me through the week Never said a word of discontentment Fought it a thousand times but now Im leaving homeHere in the shadows Im safe, Im free Ive nowhere else to go But I cannot stay where I dont belongTwo 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 areHere in the shadows Im safe, Im free Ive nowhere else to go But I cannot stay where I dont belongIn the shadows Im safe, Im free Ive nowhere else to go But I cannot stay hereShow me the shadow where true meaning lies So much more dismay in empty eyes.
