The Blueprint Burnt (Extended 2)

Verse 1

Left my gates locked up for years

Towers tall to block the fears

Heavy stones I laid in rows

Where no gentle blossom grows

Then she hammered on the wood

Claiming that she understood

Brought a light I had not seen

Carved a space where I had been

Pre-Chorus

She smiled like a saint in the sun

While counting the damage she'd done

A victor in clothing of white

Preparing to extinguish the light

Chorus

She burned the blueprint of my mind

Left the ashes all behind

Sent a letter laced with sting

Tore apart my every thing

Yeah she broke the spirit inside

Watched me beg then watched me slide

Locked the cage and kept the key

Taking every part of me

Every part of me

Verse 2

On the edge of deep release

Searching for a final peace

She came crawling with the words

Songs of grief I never heard

Lies were sugar on her tongue

Replayed anthems that were sung

Told me that I deserved the blade

Poured a drink that she had made

Pre-Chorus

She pulled on the strings of my soul

Refusing to give up control

A parasite living on time

Forgiving her cold blooded crime

Chorus

She burned the blueprint of my mind

Left the ashes all behind

Sent a letter laced with sting

Tore apart my every thing

Yeah she broke the spirit inside

Verse 3

Counting breaths inside the dark

Wait for one more tiny spark

Feeding her the phrases she once used

Act like I am happy being bruised

Yeah I nod and I agree

Selling her the lie she told to me

Buying hours one by one

Setting sights on when I’m gone

Check the map inside my brain

Navigation through the rain

Patiently I play the fool

Follow every bitter rule

Pre-Chorus

But I see the shadow starting to fade

From the crooked bed that we made

Yeah the master is starting to sleep

While I climb up the side of the steep

Chorus

She burned the blueprint of my mind

Left the ashes all behind

Sent a letter laced with sting

Tore apart my every thing

Yeah she broke the spirit inside

Watched me beg then watched me slide

Locked the cage and kept the key

Taking every part of me

Every part of me

Outro

Final door is swinging wide

Leave the vanity outside

Ghosting through the empty hall

Waiting for the sky to fall

Thirty miles to cross the line

Claiming what is rightfully mine

Feeling the fever starting to lift

Ditched the poison in her gift

Now the spell is thin and dry

Withered under a changing sky

Run until my lungs are numb

Finally done with where I'm from

Gone now

I’m gone

Far enough to breathe

Far enough to see

The chains are just shadows on the wall

I don’t hear her voice at all

No more

Nevermore

Free

Finally free

Fade Out

End
