I get the vibe that the narrator is singing to a friend or a lover or even a family member who's been the object of some sort of abuse, and now has trouble finding happiness again. This is the key part to me:
"He left the tallest peak of your paradise
buried in the bottom of a canyon in hell,
but I swear I’ll find your light in the middle,
where there’s so little late at night, down in the pit of the well."
The narrator is promising that he'll help him/her find their inner beauty and happiness again, even though it's been buried deep beneath the scars of abuse and being treated badly.
"Then when heaven has a line around the corner,
we shouldn’t have to wait around and hope to get in
if we can carpenter a home in our heart right now
and carve a palace from within."
This to me sounds like even the narrator has had a rough patch, and they both find solace in each other. They shut out the world and find happiness in exile, together.
Absolutely beautiful. I think it's the best thing they've done since Hospice. Can't wait for the new album.

He sees the true nature of people, that everyone has everything they need and are beautiful and pure. With encouragement he says we can make ourselves into the people we really are, without negativity or resentments.

To me, he is singing out against the idea of being judged before going to heaven. That the idea of a god will place its judgement of your true value. With realism and value in self we can awaken to the true potential we have inside.
Why wait for a paradise? This isn't a metaphor for love but rather for understanding the self and breaking down the misconceptions that separate us from each other.
