Chords

[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
