Days of the New - Shelf In the Room Lyrics

The key is so distant
I've opened doors
Know when to listen
Know what to listen for, yeah

The shelf in the room
Has been the way
Of holdin' me
And letting me stay

Kick me out let me go
I don't belong here no more
A releasing sense of getting tired
Hold myself, I can't hold myself

The shelf in the room
Has been the way
Of holdin' me
And letting me stay

The shelf in the room
Has been so true
I can hide in
The shelf in the room

Holdin' out
Never hold in
Holdin' out
Never hold
Holdin' out
Never hold in
Holdin' out
Never hold

Know when to listen
Know what to listen for
Believe in resistance
Don't let them tell you anymore

Is there anyway, no
To get away, no
Ask myself
While I stay inside, yeah

The shelf in the room
Has been the way
Of holdin' me
And letting me stay

The shelf in the room
Has been so true
I can hide in
The shelf in the room, yeah

Holdin' out
Never hold in
Holdin' out
Never hold
Holdin' out
Never hold in
Holdin' out
Never hold

Holdin' out
Never hold in
Holdin' out
Never hold
Holdin' out
Never hold in
Holdin' out
Never hold

The key is so distant
I've closed my doors
The shelf in the room
Is rain waitin' to pour
