Lyrics

Exodus

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

My black backpack's stuffed with broken dreams

Twenty bucks should get me through the week

Never said a word of discontentment

I 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 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

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
