"The mansion is my mind and represents my thoughts and my struggles, and each room is a song filled with words and experiences of my life with the walls covered in lyrics. Every song you hear is an emotion and something I've been through or going through when I write it. I'm just allowing people to see the things in my mind that not everybody wants to talk about but where a lot of people can relate."
