Lyrics

Exodus

[Verse 1] My black backpack's stuffed with broken dreams 20 bucks should get me through the week Never said a word of discontentment Fought it a thousand times but now I'm leaving home [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] Two months pass by and it's getting cold I know I'm not lost I am 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 [Chorus] 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 [Outro] Show me the shadow where true meaning lies So much more dismay in empty eyes
