  • I never thought I'd be a soldier
    I take my place inside the battle
    I've come to realize the journey's over
    Realize that life is sober

    Everyday I'm like a soldier
    Waking up within the battle
    And through the haze I live a dream that's better
    Than what I feel inside diggin' in me

    Suffer and darkness in my eyes against the light of chrome
    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

    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

    Welcome to the bottom line
    Suffer and darkness in my eyes against the night of chrome
    I get confused and all I hear is just myself
    I will resign and search for peace of mind I'm on my own
    I need to be alone and lost in this solitude

    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
