Blueprints
Lyrics
They drew the rooms before I got here
Measured out the man I'd be
Hung the doors where they were certain
Every hinge was named for me
I learned the house like it was gospel
Walked the hallways in the dark
Slept inside a drafted future
Traced before I made a mark
Paper's only paper
Ink is only ink
Every line's a promise
Drawn before I could think
My hand now
My line now
I redraw
I know how
Every wall
Can come down
My hand now
My hand now
There's a room they never finished
Where the morning finds the floor
I've been standing in that half-light
Wanting less, and wanting more
Paper's only paper
Ink was never law
Every line's a question
Waiting on my hand
My hand now
My line now
I redraw
I know how
Every wall
Can come down
My hand now
My hand now
I keep what held me
I draw the rest
My hand now
My line now
I redraw
I know how
Some walls stay
Some come down
My hand now
My hand now
The house is still standing
So am I
