my black backpack stuffed with broken dreams

twenty bucks should get me through the week

never said a word of discontentment

faught 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

oh, show me the shadow where true meaning lies

so much more dismay in empty eyes.
