Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Standing on my shadow

In the forest deep within

The narrow path gets wider

Asking where I’ve been

I was hiding in the valley

Running from myself

Hanging all my dreams

On a dusty shelf

[Pre-Chorus]

I kept my name in my pocket

Kept my pain on lock

Every door I touched

Had a chain and a knock

But the ground still knows me

When I lose my track

You can’t outrun your own steps

They come calling back

[Chorus]

Dusty shelf, dusty shelf

I can’t leave it there

Dusty shelf, dusty shelf

I was never gone, I swear

Take it down, take it down

Let it breathe again

Dusty shelf, dusty shelf

I’m coming home again

[Verse 2]

Now the trees look closer

Like they know my face

I was sharp with silence

Trying to win the race

But the valley taught me

Every scar can speak

Every buried seed

Still pushes through the weak

[Pre-Chorus]

I kept my name in my pocket

Kept my pain on lock

Every door I touched

Had a chain and a knock

But the ground still knows me

When I lose my track

You can’t outrun your own steps

They come calling back

[Chorus]

Dusty shelf, dusty shelf

I can’t leave it there

Dusty shelf, dusty shelf

I was never gone, I swear

Take it down, take it down

Let it breathe again

Dusty shelf, dusty shelf

I’m coming home again

[Bridge]

If I fall, I fall forward

If I break, I break clean

What I hid in the dark

Still belongs to me

And the path keeps opening

Where the fear used to be

I’m not lost in the forest

I’m finding me

[Chorus]

Dusty shelf, dusty shelf

I can’t leave it there

Dusty shelf, dusty shelf

I was never gone, I swear

Take it down, take it down

Let it breathe again

Dusty shelf, dusty shelf

I’m coming home again
