[Chorus: Fleurie]
Am
Insidious is blind inception
F
What's reality with all these questions?
Dm F
Feels like I missed my alarm and slept in
G
Slept in
Am
Broken legs, but I chase perfection
F
These walls are my blank expression
Dm
My mind is a home I'm trapped in
F G
And it's lonely inside this mansion
Am F Dm F G
[Verse 1: NF]
Am
Yo, my mind is a house with walls, covered in lyrics
F
They're all over the place, there's songs in the mirrors
Dm
Written all over the floors, all over the chairs
F G
And you get the uncut version of life when I go downstairs
Am
That's where I write when I'm in a bad place and need to release
F
And let out the version of NF you don't wanna see
Dm
I put holes in the walls with both of my fists till they bleed
F G
You might get a glimpse of how I cope with all this anger in me
Am
Physically abused, now that's the room that I don't wanna be in
F
That picture ain't blurry at all, I just don't wanna see it
Dm
And these walls ain't blank, I just think I don't wanna see 'em
F G
But why not? I'm in here, so I might as well read 'em
Am
I gotta thank you for this anger that I carry around
F
Wish I could take a match and burn this whole room to the ground
Dm
Matter of fact, I think I'ma burn this room right now
F G
Somehow, this memory, for some reason, just won't burn down
Am
You used to put me in the corner, so you could see the fear in my eyes
F
Then took me downstairs and beat me till I screamed and I cried
Dm
Congratulations, you'll always have a room in my mind
F G
But I'ma keep the door shut and lock the lyrics inside
[Chorus: Fleurie]
Am
Insidious is blind inception
F
What's reality with all these questions?
Dm F
Feels like I missed my alarm and slept in
G
And slept in
Am
Broken legs, but I chase perfection
F
These walls are my blank expression
Dm
My mind is a home I'm trapped in
F G
And it's lonely inside this mansion, inside this mansion
[Verse 2: NF]
Am
Yo, my mind is a house with walls, covered in pain
F
See, my problem is, I don't fix things, I just try to repaint
Dm
Cover 'em up, like it never happened, say, "I wish I could change"
F G
Are you confused? Come upstairs and I'll show you what I mean
Am
This room's full of regrets, it just keeps getting fuller, it seems
F
The moment I walk into it's the same moment that I wanna leave
Dm
I get sick to my stomach every time I look at these things
F G
But it's hard to look past when this is the room where I sleep
Am
I look around, one of the worst things I wrote on these walls
F
Was the moment I realized that I was losing my mom
Dm
One of the first things I wrote was, "I wish I woulda called"
F G
But I should just stop now, we ain't got enough room in this song
Am
And I regret the fact that I struggled trying to find who I am
F
And I lie to myself and say I do the best that I can
Dm
Shrug it off like it ain't nothing, like it's out of my hands
F G
Then get ticked off whenever I see it affecting my plans
Am
And I regret watchin' these trust issues eat me alive
F
And at the rate I'm goin', they'll probably still be there when I die
Dm
Congratulations, you'll always have a room in my mind
F G
The question is, will I ever clean the walls off in time?
[Chorus: Fleurie]
Am
Insidious is blind inception
F
What's reality with all these questions?
Dm F
Feels like I missed my alarm and slept in
G
And slept in
Am
Broken legs, but I chase perfection
F
These walls are my blank expression
Dm
My mind is a home I'm trapped in
F G
And it's lonely inside this mansion, inside this mansion
[Verse 3: NF]
Am
So this part of my house, no one's been in it for years
F
I built a safe room and I don't let no one in there
Dm
'Cause if I do, there's a chance that they might disappear
F G
And not come back, and I admit, I am emotionally scared
Am
To let anyone inside, so I just leave my doors locked
F
You might get other doors to open up, but this door's not
Dm
'Cause I don't want you to have the opportunity to hurt me
F G
And I'll be the only person that I can blame when you desert me
Am
I'm barricaded inside, so stop watchin'
F
I'm not coming to the door, so stop knockin', stop knockin'
Dm
I'm trapped here, God keeps saying I'm not locked in
F G
I chose this, I am lost in my own conscience
Am
I know that shuttin' the world out ain't solvin' the problem
F
But I didn't build this house because I thought it would solve 'em
Dm
I built it because I thought that it was safer in there
F G
But it's not, I'm not the only thing that's livin' in here
Am
Fear came to my house years ago, I let him in
F
Maybe that's the problem, 'cause I've been dealing with this ever since
Dm
I thought that he would leave, but it's obvious, he never did
F G
He must have picked a room and got comfortable and settled in
Am
Now I'm in a position, it's either sit here and let 'em win
F
Or put him back outside where he came from, but I never can
Dm
'Cause in order to do that, I'd have to open the doors
F G
Is that me or the fear talking? I don't know anymore
[Outro: NF & Fleurie]
Am F Dm D G
It's lonely
Inside (inside), inside (inside)
It's lonely (it's lonely)
Oh, yeah, it's loney
Inside this mansion
