Trace Condition

Intro

Mmm... mmm...

Verse 1

Something stood on the shelf and is not standing now the light goes amber on the dust where it was

Pre-Chorus

I keep almost remembering the weight of it the weight of it

Chorus

All I have is the shape of almost a door I opened in a dream I woke into a room the same size as the one I'd left all I have is the shape of almost and it is enough it is enough

Verse 2

Final Chorus

All I have is the shape of almost a door I opened in a dream I woke into a room the same size as the one I'd left all I have is the shape of almost and it is enough it is enough

Outro

the shape of almost the shape
