Evanescence Exodus (1999)

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 passed 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


Show me the shadow where true meaning lies

So much more dismay in empty eyes


You can't stop the fire

Can you stand to fight her?

You can't stop the fire

You won't say the words


Can you stop the fire?

Can you stand to fight her?

You can't stop the fire

You won't say the words
