My black backpack 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 I'm leaving home
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'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 the 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
Oh, show me the shadow where true meaning lies So much more dismay in empty eyes
