Exodus

My black backpack stuffed with broken dreams.
Twenty bucks should get me through the week.
Never said a word of discontentment.
Thought 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 passed 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...
Show me the shadow where true meaning lies.
So much more dismay in empty eyes.
