[Verse: Andrea Ferro]
I've never thought I'd be the soldier
I take my place inside the battle
I've come to realise the journey's over
Realise that life is sober
[Verse: Cristina Scabbia]
Every day I'm like a soldier
Waking up within the battle
Through the haze I live a dream that's better
Than what I feel inside
Digging in me...
[Pre-Chorus: Cristina]
Suffering darkness in my eyes against the light of Rome
I see the reflection of the ghost that I've become
Waiting behind the windows, I resign to be alone
I want to feel alone
And lost in this solitude...
[Chorus: Cristina and Andrea]
Shallow life
I'll stay close to the ground
Shallow life
The walls keep falling down
I close my eyes
I'll find my way around
In the shallow life
[Bridge: Andrea]
Welcome to the bottom line, the bottom line, the bottom line
[Pre-Chorus: Cristina]
Suffering darkness in my eyes against the night of Rome
I get confused and all I hear is just myself
I will resign in search for peace of mind, I'm on my own
I need to be alone
And lost in this solitude...
[Chorus: Cristina and Andrea]
Shallow life
I'll stay close to the ground
Shallow life
The walls keep falling down
I close my eyes
I'll find my way around
In the shallow life
The walls keep falling...
Shallow life
I'll stay close to the ground
Shallow life
The walls keep falling down
I close my eyes
I'll find my way around
In the shallow life
Shallow life...
[Bridge/Outro: Andrea]
Welcome to the bottom line, the bottom line, the bottom line
