General Information
Written by: A. Lee and B. Moody
Exodus is one of Evanescence's earliest recorded songs. It was released on the Evanescence EP in December 1998. It should be noted that Amy Lee plays the piano on this track as David Hodges didn’t join the band until 2000.
The live performance from May 7th, 1999 featured lyrics from Missing at the end, although the song had yet to come into existence, and the song features a guitar in the beginning.
Amy from EvThreads:[1]

...Its just hard because you're your own worst critic and I hear myself say "my black backpack stuffed with broken dreams" and want to shoot myself. I seriously can't listen to the verses to that song without squinting. But I don't deny that there was a magic in those early songs. Each one was so exciting to us, we were just learning that we had the ability to make our favorite music. |

Lyrics
Studio Version
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
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
Live Version
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
