[Verse 1] Concrete walls and a blueprint in my head Building rooms out of everything you ever said A roof of gold where the stray emotions land Every soul that I'm holding in my hand Tenants of my pulse sleeping in the hall No lock on the door and no shadows on the wall Just an endless fire keeping out the cold Everyone I love safely in the fold [Pre-Chorus] But the map was drawn by someone else's hand Drawing lines across the promised land They want a deed, they want a signed decree They want to cage the bird that flies for free [Chorus] You call it yours, I call it letting go A house of glass where the wild orchids grow You stake your claim with a hammer and a chain I built a home where nobody wears a name We could share the warmth, we could share the light Instead you build a fence to conquer the night Coexistence is a ghost we chase in vain Love is just a weapon in a hurricane [Verse 2] Stamping feet on the pavement of my chest Everyone's a landlord, nobody's a guest You want the key to the chambers of my spine Saying what is yours and pointing out what's mine A fortress built from the vanity of pride Now there's nowhere left for the gentle hearts to hide Every open window traded for a door Walking on the shards of a broken hardwood floor [Pre-Chorus] And the map was drawn by someone else's hand Drawing lines across the promised land They want a deed, they want a signed decree They want to cage the bird that flies for free [Chorus] You call it yours, I call it letting go A house of glass where the wild orchids grow You stake your claim with a hammer and a chain I built a home where nobody wears a name We could share the warmth, we could share the light Instead you build a fence to conquer the night Coexistence is a ghost we chase in vain Love is just a weapon in a hurricane [Bridge] Tear the shingles down, let the weather in Show me where the borders and the bloodlines end If I can't provide a sanctuary space Then burn the foundation down without a trace [Chorus] You call it yours, I call it letting go A house of glass where the wild orchids grow You stake your claim with a hammer and a chain I built a home where nobody wears a name We could share the warmth, we could share the light Instead you build a fence to conquer the night Coexistence is a ghost we chase in vain Love is just a weapon in a hurricane [Outro] Just a hurricane No keys, no walls Just the falling rain (Fade out)
