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



[chorus]

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 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



[chorus 2x]



show me the shadow where true meaning lies

so much more is made in empty eyes
