The key is so distant
 I've opened doors
 Now when to listen
 Know what to listen for, yeah
 The shelf in the room 
 Has been the way 
 Of holding me, 
 And letting me stay 
 Kick me out, 
 Let me go
 I don't belong here no more
 The releasing steps
 Of gettin tired
 Hold myself
 I can't hold myself

 The shelf in the room
 Has been the way
 Of holding me
 And letting me stay
 The shelf in the room
 Has been told the [bad word] 
 I can't hide from the shelf in the room

 Holdin out never hold in holdin out (holding out never hold)
 Holdin out never hold in holdin out (holding out never hold)

 Now when to listen
 Know what to listen for
 Leave in resistance 
 Don't let them tell you anymore
 Is there any way
 To get away
 Ask my self
 Why I stay inside
 Yeah

 The shelf in the room
 Has been the way of holding me
 And lettin me stay
 The shelf in the room has been told the [bad word]  I can't hide from the shelf in the room

 Yeah
 Holdin out holdin in holdin out (holdin out never hold)
 Holdin out holdin in holdin out (holdin out never hold)
 Holdin out holdin in holdin out (holdin out never hold)
 Holdin out holdin in holdin out (holdin out never hold)
 Holdin out holdin in holdin out (holdin out never hold)
 Holdin out holdin in never holdin out (holdin out never hold)

 The key is so distant
 I've closed my doors 
 The shelf in the room
