Mansion by Nf
Mansion
Capo 1
(Chorus)
Am
Insidious is blind inception
F
What's reality with all these questions?
Dm F
Feels like I missed my alarm and slept in (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
And it's lonely inside this mansion
(Instrumental Am F )
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
Am F
Written all over the floors, all over the chairs
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 want to see
Dm
I put holes in the walls with both of my fists 'til they bleed
F G
You might get a glimpse of how I cope with all this anger in me
G Am
Physically abused, now that's the room that I don't want to be in
F
That picture ain't blurry at all, I just don't want to see it
Dm
And these walls ain't blank, I just think I don't want to 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
F#m F
Matter of fact I think I'm a burn this room right now
G
So now this memory for some reason just won't come down
Am F
You used to put me in the corner, so you could see the fear in my eyes
Then took me downstairs and beat me 'til I screamed and I cried
Dm F
Congratulations, you'll always have a room in my mind
G Am
But I'm a keep the door shut and lock the lyrics inside
(Repeat chorus)
[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
Dm
I just try to repaint, cover em up, like it never happen
F
Say I wish I could change. Are you confused?
Come upstairs and I'll show you what I mean
Am
This room's full of regrets, just keeps getting fuller it seems
F
The moment I walk in to it is the same moment that I wanna leave
Dm
I get sick to my stomach every time I look at these things
F F#m
But it's hard to look past when this is the room where I sleep
Dm
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 F
And one of the first things I wrote was I was shot with a call
G
But I should just stop now, we ain't got enough room in this song
Am F
And I regret the fact that I struggled trying to find who I am
And I lie to myself and say I do the best that I can
Shrug it off like it ain't nothing like it's out of my hands
G
Then get ticked off whenever I see it affecting my plans
Am F
And I regret watching these trust issues eat me alive
And at the rate I'm going 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?
(repeat chorus)
[Verse 3 - NF:]
Am F#m
So this part of my house, no one's been in it for years
F
I built the safe room and I don't let no one in there
Dm
Cause if I do, there's a chance
F
That they might disappear and not come back
G Am
And I admit I am emotionally scared to let anyone inside
So I just leave my doors locked
F
You might get other doors to open up but this doors 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
I'm barricaded inside
Am
So stop watching
F
I'm not coming to the door
So stop knocking, stop knocking
Am
I'm trapped here
F
God keep saying I'm not locked in
I chose this
G
I am lost in my own conscious
C F
I know that shutting the wall down ain't solving the problem
But I didn't build this house because I thought it would solve 'em
Am F
I built it because I thought that it would be safer in there
G
But it's not, I'm not the only thing that's living in here
Am
Fear came to my house years ago I let 'em in
F
Maybe that's the problem
Cause I've been dealing with this ever since
Dm F
I thought that he would leave, but it's obvious he never did
G
He must have picked the room and got comfortable and settled in
Am
Now I'm in the position it's either sit here and let him win
F C
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
Is that me or the fear talking?
I don't know anymore
Instrumental: Am F Dm F Am F Dm
Am F
It's lonely
Dm
Inside this mansion
