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, 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 [bad word] meaning lies

So much more dismay in empty eyes
