Heart Off The Shelf

These days I'm caught between
The hearing now, the memory, the reckoning
And all the ghosts that follow me
I can't get my heart off the shelf
I just can't get my heart off the shelf

These days I'm caught between
The rock n' roll, the reverie, the poetry
And all your words that follow me
I can't get my heart off the shelf
I just can't get my heart off the shelf, oh

But I'm dreaming underneath the avalanche I'm reaching
Holding out for a hand
How do we learn to believe

These days I'm caught between
Every breath of what I've said and didn't mean
And all that silence that is near
I can't get my heart off the shelf
I just can't get my heart off the shelf

These days I'm caught between
It's for your own damn good to find its only greed
And all that power follows me
I can't get my heart off the shelf
No, I just can't get my heart off the shelf, oh

But I'm dreaming underneath the avalanche I'm reaching
Holding out for a hand
How do we learn to believe

These days I'm caught between
The hearing now, the memory, the reckoning
And all the ghosts that follow me
I can't get my heart off the shelf
I just can't get my heart off the shelf
