The Blueprint

[Intro]\n\n[Verse]\nThe map was drawn before I breathed\nThe lies were sown, the truth was sheathed\nI wore your name like iron chains\nUntil the rust ran through my veins\nI checked the boxes one by one\nTo be the perfect, golden son\nBut the gold is peeling off the frame\nAnd I don’t even know my name\n\n[Pre-Chorus]\nI’m waking up in the gray\nI’ve got nothing left to say\nI’m throwing the script away\nI’m leaving the debts I can’t pay\n\n[Chorus]\nI’m burning down the blueprint\nI’m scrubbin' every thumbprint\nI don’t care if it makes sense\nI’m jumping over your fence\nYeah, I’m finally free\nTo be the mess I need to be\nI’m taking the first step\nInto the dark I haven't kept\n\n[Post-Chorus]\nYeah, I’m walking out\nWithout a shadow of a doubt\nJust a scream and a shout\nThat’s what this is all about\n\n[Verse]\nI smiled to keep the table still\nI swallowed every bitter pill\nYou built a man out of your will\nBut now the room is getting chill\nThe cracks are showing on the floor\nI’m heading straight for the door\nI don’t want this life anymore\nI’m settling the secret score\n\n[Pre-Chorus]\nI’m waking up in the gray\nI’ve got nothing left to say\nI’m throwing the script away\nI’m leaving the debts I can’t pay\n\n[Chorus]\nI’m burning down the blueprint\nI’m scrubbin' every thumbprint\nI don’t care if it makes sense\nI’m jumping over your fence\nYeah, I’m finally free\nTo be the mess I need to be\nI’m taking the first step\nInto the dark I haven't kept\n\n[Solo]\n(Let the guitar scream)\n(Let the feedback bleed)\n(Break the chains we feed)\n(This is all I need)\n\n[Bridge]\nIt’s messy and it’s loud\nI’m walking through the crowd\nThe silence is unbowed\nI’m drifting like a cloud\nNo more "yes" and no more "sir"\nEverything is just a blur\nI’m the ghost you can’t deter\nThe son you didn't prefer\n\n[Chorus]\nI’m burning down the blueprint\nI’m scrubbin' every thumbprint\nI don’t care if it makes sense\nI’m jumping over your fence\nYeah, I’m finally free\nTo be the mess I need to be\nI’m taking the first step\nInto the dark I haven't kept\n\n[Post-Chorus]\nYeah, I’m walking out\nWithout a shadow of a doubt\nJust a scream and a shout\nThat’s what this is all about\n\n[Outro]
