Locksmith
A World Without Smiles
[Chorus: Justin Cohen]
I've been left here all alone by the promises you can't keep
As if we never had each other's love, all the lies we couldn't see
I keep trying and trying and trying, can't stand on my own feet
I keep crying and crying and crying, please don't leave
[Verse 1: Locksmith]
Uh! Naw! Yo!
She got her head on my chest and she sleepin' (sleepin')
I'm just trying to get out all of these thoughts that I'm thinkin' (thinkin')
Tryna find a way in my vocabulary to say that she's beautiful
But I really don't think that's for you to know (No!)
Uhh! She woke up, I told her to go back to sleep, I'm workin' (workin')
Gave her a kiss on the forehead, let her know her purpose
Is everyday when I'm feeling like my life isn't perfect
You just put me back on balance so I swear it's worth it
All these late nights and long phone calls
One day it's really gon' pay off
But until then I'ma be traveling the world like a pilgrim
'Til I get a couple million
[Chorus: Justin Cohen]
I've been left here all alone by the promises you can't keep
As if we never had each other's love, all the lies we couldn't see
I keep trying and trying and trying, can't stand on my own feet
I keep crying and crying and crying, please don't leave
[Verse 2: Blind Fury]
Shit, I'ma be good! Fuck it!
Look! Solitary confinement, isolated, I'm fine with
Fightin' this battle alone, establish my own and put it behind us
My phone's a deadly reminder what I would covet and what I was lacking
Instead of me feeling inspired, filled my desires with jealousy that kept me trapped in
I was just acting, smiling in public and showing my teeth, inside I was nauseous
Fervently posting my wins on the Gram but secretly I was still hiding my losses
I was devolving, I was involved with judging myself and holding it all in
I was creatin' a problem that didn't exist and diggin' a hole I would fall in
Not afraid to say I was insecure, now regardless what they think my intent was pure
Now regardless what you see I'ma leave here cured, try not to sink but the link's obscured
Try not to play in the negative imagery, I take the good and the bad, that's the symmetry
I take the hardship and pain and let it remain and pray to God people ain't missing me
Listen!
[Chorus: Justin Cohen]
I've been left here all alone by the promises you can't keep
As if we never had each other's love, all the lies we couldn't see
I keep trying and trying and trying, can't stand on my own feet
I keep crying and crying and crying, please don't leave
[Outro: Justin Cohen]
I've been left here all alone by the promises you can't keep
As if we never had each other's love, all the lies we couldn't see
I keep trying and trying and trying, can't stand on my own feet
I keep crying and crying and crying, please don't leave
