Exodus

Evanescence

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 

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] 

[Chorus] 

Show me the shadow where true meaning lies 
So much more is made in empty eyes
