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]



[Chorus]



Show me the shadow where true meaning lies

So much more is made in empty eyes
