Evanescence - 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 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.
