Lyrics:

Verse 1:
The key is so distant
I've opened doors
Know when to listen
Know what to listen for (yea)

Chorus:
The shelf in the room has been the way
Of holding me and letting me stay

Verse 2:
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

Chorus:
The shelf in the room has been so true
I can hide in the shelf in the room

Break:
Holding out, never holding in
Holding out, never hold

Verse 3:
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

Verse 4:
The key is so distant
I've closed my doors
The shelf in the room
Is rain waiting to pour
