Locksmith, One.Coco - The Margin lyrics

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

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

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 class
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?

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
