Drawn Blueprint

[Intro: vinyl hiss, pitched-down whisper]
(come home... come home...)
[808 slide, cowbell triplets]

[Verse 1: melodic rap]
I'd draw a room for every name
A thousand windows sharing one flame
Coffee in the kitchen, shoes beside the stairs
No one has to vanish just to make room there
(oh-oh) Leave the porch light on

[Pre-Chorus: rising doubles]
But the locks come out when lovers speak
They ask which one gets the only key
(key-key-key)

[Chorus: sung, distorted 808]
I wanna build a home for every heart I hold
One roof, open doors against the cold
No one gets a deed to the warmth in me
But they call it love if they own the key
(you're mine! mine-mine-mine)
Then I wake where love means choosing sides

[Drop: chopped pitched vocal, cowbell]
(home-home-home) (no-no-no)
(ki-ki-key) (let me breathe)
(bmm-tss-ka, bmm-tss-ka)

[Verse 2: double-time]
They want fences round a thing that needs air
Make a courtroom out of how much I care
If I hold two hands, they count who I betray
So I fold my blueprint, hide the dream away
(away-way-way) [hard cut]

[Bridge: filtered piano, bare vocal]
Just enough heat for the ones in the rain
But a house without borders scares the street
Nobody moves in if the cost is grief

[Final Chorus: harmonies, halftime]
I wanna build a home for every heart I hold
One roof, open doors against the cold
But they call it love if they own the key
So the house stays drawn where no one can see

[Outro: tape-stop, whisper]
(come home... in another life)
