Lacuna Coil Shallow Life 1. Survive Sometimes I feel alone in a million crowd An outsider wandering alone without Any words to say They can't explain The desire to overcome the pain Feel the breath that's always getting away from me Am I dreaming it all? I will never be afraid I'll survive in this nothing, leading nowhere. I survive, feeling strong for how much longer? I'll survive in this nothing leading nowhere I survive A voice inside of me That keeps on teasing As sweet as like a whisper from the lips of pain And so many steps that I can't make I can't take the chance, release the brake And the breath just keeps on getting away Am I dreaming it all? I will never be afraid I'll survive in this nothing, leading nowhere. I survive, feeling strong for how much longer? I'll survive in this nothing leading nowhere I survive 2. I Won't Tell You I cannot tell you you're falling apart Open your eyes if you wanna survive I want to tell you your love is a lie But I won't tell you, I won't tell you. I can't leave this, I am fine inside it I don't feel bliss and I just keep hiding I've been burnt so badly but I still play with fire Sometimes naked truth is what I don't believe in I cannot tell you you're falling apart Open your eyes if you wanna survive I want to tell you your love is a lie But I won't tell you, I won't tell you I cannot get so deep into this now I can't admit that I know what I know and I want to tell you your love is a lie I won't tell you, I won't tell you It's hard to hear through the static again It's never clear until the rush of pain I'll never tell you I'm living a lie In this confusion I feel alive I've been burnt so bad but I still play with fire Sometimes naked truth is what I can't believe in Don't ever tell me I'm falling apart Don't ever tell me I will not survive Sometimes naked truth is what I can't believe in Don't ever tell me I'm falling apart Don't ever tell me I will not survive Don't ever tell me this love is a lie Cause I'm the lie, I'm the liar 3. Not Enough I don't want to be saved, I want to go down with you Together we will find a way to come back Come back, come back I don't want to be saved, I want to go down with you Together we will find a way to come back I thought it was too late I thought you disappeared It's been a while since I believed in you I used to have the strength I used to just walk away But now that I see you It's not enough, it's not enough I don't want to be saved, I want to go down with you Together we will find a way to come back I'm falling once again, I'm following the way Nothing changed since I believed in you I knew that it would come, I thought that I'd be afraid But now that I have you It's not enough, it's not enough I don't want to be saved, I want to go down with you Together we will find a way to come back Forgotten fears I'd throw away all the caution out unto the wind My soul is thirsty, and I'm still dreaming of you Get out of my mind Come back (Get out of my mind), Come back (Get out of my mind) I don't want to be saved, I want to go down with you Together we will find a way to come back I don't want to be saved, I want to give into you Together we will find a way to come back 4. I'm Not Afraid Watch your back Because I am coming closer Shivers down your spine You were not expecting me How does it feel to be faced in your territory? Are you afraid to see me here? I'm not afraid To take my time, to live my life The way I want to I'm not afraid To take you down and live my life as I want to I'm not afraid Closer but apart No one else can hear us Get out of the car Did you want to leave without me? How does it feel to be faced in your territory? Are you afraid to see me here? 5. I Like It Everything is different today I like it, like it I feel different today I like it, like it I'm not gonna be in your parade Cause I don't like it You think I'm a dirty little game You think I like it You made up this fantasy with me But I don't like it. I want you to get away from me That's how I like it How do you like it? Today I'm gonna fly There's nothing that can keep me on the ground Touch the sky I'm free inside. You think you're the master, I'm the slave You think I like it You don't even know me anyway That's how I like it. I'm getting ready to move on But you don't like it You can kiss your fairy tale away I like it, like it How do you like it I'm free to do what I like I'm celebrating my life I'm free to be what I like I'm celebrating my life I'm gonna get what I like I'm gonna celebrate 'till I die I'm celebrating my life. 6. Underdog You are going down Down At the bottom I have found I cannot wait to get back in the fight And send you straight to the ground Hide and seek When I'm on the ropes You wanna knock me down, knock me down Your cheap shots are denied You're going down You can't kill my soul and kill me dream Back down Now You will understand me now You don't want to come back to the fight I've been the underdog all my life I can feel it I will not stop until I see you down On the ground Cause I am still alive 7. The Pain I wake up to a smoking gun The evidence in your head There's no proof of guilt or innocence I'm finished with you taking me through A line of questioning that feeds you I must confess I'm here to kill the pain To kill the pain What can I do? How hard I fight No matter how How long I've tried The sword of justice in my hand You cut me down, sharp like a blade You make me want to never trust again I'm finished with you dragging me through More lies and deceit that feeds you I must confess I'm here to kill the pain Doesn't matter, if it mattered I would never have tried To save us both from losing our minds Doesn't matter You shatter me now I have to get away The rain comes The rain comes Nothing gonna buy you time The rain comes The rain comes You know its gonna come 8. Spellbound Burning here, in the room Feeling that the walls are moving closer Silent scene the dark takes me Leads me to the ending of another day I'm haunted Tell me who you are. I am spellbound You cannot have this control on me Everywhere I go I am spellbound I will break the spell you put on me Velvet drapes, glowing candles Silent whispers of words inside of my head The night that comes, it waits for me Lift me to the ending of another day I'm haunted Tell me who you are. I am spellbound You cannot have this control on me Everywhere I go I am spellbound I will break the spell you put on me Tell me who you are. I am spellbound You cannot have this control on me Everywhere I go I am spellbound I will break the spell you put on me Everywhere I go I am spellbound Everywhere I go I am spellbound Everywhere I go I am spellbound I will break the spell you put on me 9. Wide Awake The rebel inside A mind of my own I haven't felt right Since the moment I gave up I challenged my limits I'm feeling I'm becoming limitless I take it all in and inhale I'm wide awake I open my eyes and the sky is so blue all of a sudden I know that I treasure my life I find myself Wide awake Like you The struggle within Now I understand freedom begins When you get out of the cage you built It looks like I'm crazy but I'm not the only one To believe in myself, believe in myself I won't be coming undone Cause I feel like 10. The Maze My thoughts can be so vicious Committed to a plan The fear becomes ambitious Taking me till I am gone I don't know how it started Beating up myself I've come to realize I can barely carry on each day This life is so destructive it's blowing out my mind My breath is running so short I'm lost here (deep inside) In this maze I'm running through the halls of emptiness In this maze I can't find a way to get back to the end In this maze I'm feeling like I'm stuck inside a cage In this maze I won't feel the breeze 'till I break this maze and run I don't know how it started Thinking to myself I've come to realize I couldn't carry on each day This vibe is so destructive I'm smoking up my mind So by the time she left I was lost here (Deep inside) Will I ever see the sun? Shining through the prison clouds In the darkness you can hide Go inside, free your mind 11. Unchained There is nothing up ahead Or down the road The streets won't last forever There is nothing left to loose I cannot see Myself inside this dream I know Nothing lasts forever Nothing lasts forever Unchained I'm like a bullet set free now Unchained I'm like a weapon unleashed now Now I've found my way To solid ground I left behind the feeling That I've been a fool I feel much stronger now I am not the same You know Nothing lasts forever Nothing lasts forever 12. Shallow Life I never thought I'd be the soldier I take my place inside the battle I've come to realize the journey is 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 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 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 Suffering darkness in my eyes Against the night of Rome I get confused and all I hear is just I I will resign and search for peace of mind I'm on my own I need to be alone And lost in this solitude 13. Oblivion [Bonus track] It's a fairy tale and the story is out of date Nothing that I haven't tried to say You know that the road is lonely I will need some help You know that this life is crazy I will need some help There's a place far below The darkness deep within It's a place, I don't belong Come set me free from this oblivion All inside of me On the edge of agony Nothing left for me that I can fake You know that the road is lonely I will need some help You know that this life is crazy I will need some help And I keep wandering away I'm so deep in disarray There's a place far below The darkness deep within It's a place, I don't belong Come set me free 14. The Last Goodbye [Japanese bonus track] Whatever you did to me You gotta, you gotta tell me now Why do we look like strangers? Whatever I did to you No excuses for this silence Tell me what you're thinking I'll be there for you So many stories told, too many useless words Maybe because it's getting dark inside This is the last goodbye These broken dreams have been resigned Here's to our last goodnight These broken dreams have been resigned Will this set us both free? You gotta, you gotta, you gotta Tell me what you're thinking 'cause I just don't understand it Whatever I did to you No excuses for this silence Tell me what you're thinking I'll be listening So many stories told, too many useless words Maybe because it's getting dark inside This is the last goodbye These broken dreams have been resigned Here's to our last goodnight These broken dreams have been resigned Why should I care when it will be alright? Once separate ways we'll feel alive again So many stories told, too many useless words Maybe because it's getting dark inside This is the last goodbye These broken dreams have been resigned Here's to our last goodnight These broken dreams have been resigned The last goodbye The last goodbye The last goodbye The last goodbye 15. Leaving Alone [Deluxe Edition bonus track] Here today, I think I must have changed my mind as I'm looking at things from a different side I get up and fight off, the guilt last night pushing back the fear I will be my guide no one by my side the only road, just me myself and I I'm leaving alone tonight I'm leaving the trust behind I'm leaving alone tonight I'm leaving it all behind let the journey start, I finally freed myself from the jealousy and revenge I have felt I got out in time and I'm moving fine I'll live to tell the tale I will be my guide, no one by my side this fearless road, just me myself and I I can't awake this, it has slowly faded you have made me feel so understated this is the hurt that you have knowingly created we have now become so overrated Total playing time 43:56 The CD was recorded in September/October 2008 at NRG Studios in North Hollywood, California with producer Don Gilmore.
