[FeltPiano][SoftAnalogSynth][RoomTone][SubBassPulse] I traced a line across the floor Before the morning came Made the coffee, found my keys Looked back... Checked it once again. I stretched the tape against the wall Measured twice to see Stood there with an open hand... Then measured it again. [PreChorus][FoundSoundPercussion][SoftKick][WhisperLayers] Almost... Just a little closer. Almost... Not quite yet. [DeepSubBass][SoftKick][MutedNylonGuitar][WideWhisperLayers][MinimalDrums] I reached the mark... It wasn't there. I crossed the room... It crossed somewhere. Every step I thought I'd gained Asked me for another one. Every inch I gave away Became another mile to run. [PostChorus][SoftAnalogSynth] Oh... Still not there... Oh... Just one more... There's a knock out in the hall. I look down before I move. The line is somewhere past my feet... Somewhere I can't prove. The kettle starts to whistle. Coffee slowly fades to cold. Someone laughs beyond the door. I'm exactly where I was. [PreChorus][FoundSoundPercussion][SoftKick][WhisperLayers] Almost... Just a little farther. Almost... Not today. [DeepSubBass][SoftKick][MutedNylonGuitar][WideWhisperLayers][MinimalDrums] I reached the mark... It wasn't there. I crossed the room... It crossed somewhere. Every hour I handed over Promised I was getting close. Every standard that I met Found another to impose. [NoBeat][NoBass][NoReverb][SingleCloseMicVoice] I don't remember drawing it. ... I only remember following it. ... Somewhere... The line stopped moving. ... I never did. ... Another knock. [FinalChorus][DeepSubBass][WideHarmony][SoftAnalogSynth][DrivingKick] I reached the mark... It disappeared. I looked around... Nothing had changed. No one moved it. No one spoke. No one pulled it farther on. I was the one Who never stopped Walking.[RoomTone][SoftFeltPiano][SingleBreath] The knock again. ... I don't look down. ... I open the door.
