[Intro]
Voices in the walls
Calling me again
Every time I stall
They crawl back in (yeah)
[Verse 1]
I been wrestlin’ in my head, I don’t tap
Shadow on my shoulder keepin’ track
Tellin’ me to burn what I built, make it black
Grinnin’ in the mirror like, “you’ll never get it back” (nah)
Teeth in my dreams, they bite down slow
Name on a list that I don’t wanna know
Every little fear that I bury, it grows
Turnin’ every halo to a chokehold, yo
[Chorus]
Insidious, it’s slippin’ in my skin (my skin)
Whisperin’ my sin till I call it friend (call it friend)
Laugh when I lose, clap when I descend (descend)
It loves when I break, when I break again
Insidious, it’s hidin’ in the cracks (so sly)
Smilin’ at the knives hangin’ off my back (oh my)
Tellin’ me to strike, tellin’ me attack
Every time I blink, man, it drags me back
[Verse 2]
Every “you ain’t worth it” sounds like truth
Every worst-case script runnin’ through my youth
Turn a little doubt to a noose in the booth
Tryna spit light but I choke on the proof
Red text on my phone sayin “they don’t care”
Same line in my skull playin’ everywhere
It don’t need horns or smoke in the air
Just one bad thought then I’m halfway there
Talkin’ to myself like I’m my own op
Tellin’ me to jump when I’m standin’ on top
Feeding me the poison in a slow drip drop
Sayin “one more step, then we finally stop”
[Chorus]
Insidious, it’s slippin’ in my skin (my skin)
Whisperin’ my sin till I call it friend (call it friend)
Laugh when I lose, clap when I descend (descend)
It loves when I break, when I break again
Insidious, it’s hidin’ in the cracks (so sly)
Smilin’ at the knives hangin’ off my back (oh my)
Tellin’ me to strike, tellin’ me attack
Every time I blink, man, it drags me back
[Bridge]
[Beat drops to filtered drums, eerie bells]
What if it’s me?
What if I’m the curse in the room, low key?
What if every monster that I ever wanna beat
Been livin’ in my chest on a short little leash? (yeah)
Can’t pray it away when it sound like me
Can’t shut it out when it talk off-key
So I stare dead in those eyes I see
Say “you ride with me, but you don’t own me”
[Chorus]
Insidious, you’re livin’ in my skin (my skin)
You can ride shotgun, you don’t get to steer again (nah)
You can laugh when I fall, I’ma rise in the end (in the end)
You can scrape, you can scratch, you won’t make me bend
Insidious, you’re hidin’ in the cracks (so sly)
But I stitch every cut, take my power back (my side)
You can hiss, you can haunt, you can claw and scratch
But I walk through the dark, never lookin’ back (yeah)
