Locksmith - The Margin lyrics

(Verse 1: Locksmith) Yeah I don't know what to believe I don't know what's comin' over me I used to pray on my knees Begging for God to notice me Maybe my problem is me Maybe my demons are trolling me I could've easily signed with a label But I don't want no one controlling me I know integrity's better than money But money's something I know I need People are desperately looking for purpose But nothing in this life you know is free (Yeah) You pay with your soul or pay with your sanity You pay with your wallet or wallow in pity because nothing is guaranteed For me this is therapy This is the air I breathe This is the part they don't care to see I have a fear of commitment I want to slow down but gotta choose carefully (Yeah) See one of my ex's said it with clarity If I continue this way I'll wake up one day with nobody there for me I look at people online Postin' up pics of relationship goals But when I check back in a week I'm like where they relationship go? (Yeah) Not understandin' we're hurting ourselves Focus on others opinions more than that person them self (Chorus: One Coco) You look at me like you don't know what beauty is And you reach for the stars because you'll be satisfied When you see on the ground And it's two whole's divided You can cry and you can smile and you can bleed we're the same You can think and you can fear and you can blame And we're in the same world Yeah we're in the same world (Verse 2: Locksmith) (Yeah) I get the feeling that people are feeling the fakeness of what they've been fed It's a lie Everything's like a commercial they murder your spirit and sell it back to you surprise This is the price of the life that you covet the things that you thirst and the people you lust You can spend all your attention and money to purchase your friends but cannot buy trust I can't remember before they dismembered emotional scars how to take ours We have regrettably put our celebrities up on a pedestal worshipped as gods Can you afford the ticket to heaven? How can you rise when chained to the ground? No longer human we used to consuming we pray to the things to which we have found I met a girl in a small town She put a couple big things in perspective She said people in the city love wealth Because of that fact we are all disconnected We have all been infected Separated by the walls we erected If you understand race Then you understand cla** Then you understand both are subjective I see the problem that we are devolving because we have been caught in the web of deceit We have been stuffing and feeding ourselves with comfortable thoughts and ego obeast Our egos obese Searching the streets for the truth cause we starvin' People are hungry for more But how can we eat if we're trapped in a margin? (Chorus: One Coco) You look at me like you don't know what beauty is And you reach for the stars because you'll be satisfied When you see on the ground And it's two whole's divided You can cry and you can smile and you can bleed we're the same You can think and you can fear and you can blame And we're in the same world Yeah we're in the same world
