Exodus

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, 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

Oh, show me the shadow where true meaning lies

So much more dismay in empty eyes
