Текст песни Scorched (feat. Trevy Leon) - Z. Smith feat. Trevy Leon

My life is not a book or movie but a broken record
Spinning in circles, skipping over spots burned & weathered
Scars that leave me checkered
From the times I felt like making moves
But the record just keeps playing
Falling back into it's patterned grooves
Sounds that soothe the ears & minds of friends & family
It keeps 'em calm to hear a tune that says I'm find & dandy
With a melody whose notes reach every expectation
Play it so damn much, they don't catch the alterations
All the warps, the jumps, the cracks in the tracks
Mutations of a ballad that will never change back
All these - defects & glitches, count 'em up
Watch 'em stack
Playing all the wrong notes
As the needles scratches past
And now - they're adding up, all these imperfections
They change the - they change my tone and replace my message
You see the pressure of perfection
Is a weight that often leaves it's mark
'Cause pressure comes with heat
Heat that's burned my skin and scorched my heart

Now everyone who views me wrong
Can't see just who I am
I've been lost, been tossed
Down into the ground
But I'm still gonna stand

And everything that's broken me down
Now keeps me going strong
Thought I'd need to delete all the memories
But they're with me all along

I'm hurt, I'm burned, I'm scarred, I'm scorched

Now every time I pass a mirror, I become way less familiar
With the stranger standing on the other side
We've shared the same intentions, hearts & minds that once connected
But his reflection's not the same as mine
'Cause he has high hopes for a normal life, normal nights
Filled with friends and love for everyone
He thinks that I have just met him, but I don't know how to tell him
What he's looking at is who he will become
'Cause as his record plays, spinning from day to day
His tables turn for weeks, then months
Then turn for years
With each spin he comes to terms with thoughts he's never had
Thoughts he never thought he'd think between his ears
But his sins have left stains on him
Jagged lines drawn out of spite
Vices are caked on him
Tries to scrub 'em from plain site
But now they're sounding kinda tight
Out of whack sound bytes
Building up into to the album he's been waiting all his life
To fuckin' make

Now everyone who views me wrong
Can't see just who I am
I've been lost, been tossed
Down into the ground
But I'm still gonna stand

And everything that's broken me down
Now keeps me going strong
Thought I'd need to delete all the memories
But they're with me all along

I'm hurt, I'm burned, I'm scarred, I'm scorched

My life is not a book or movie but a broken record
Spinning in circles, skipping over spots burned & weathered
Pressures of perfection are the weights that often leave their mark
But marked up vinyls tell the story of an honest heart

And is it hard to believe
That I've been putting up a wall from this broken debris
And I've been drawing on my arm for a heart on my sleeve
And every break in that heart has been changing the beat
'Cause lately, I've been
Looking deeper in the source now
I realize there ain't nothing
Wrong with being scorched now

Now everyone who views me wrong
Can't see just who I am
I've been lost, been tossed
Down into the ground
But I'm still gonna stand

And everything that's broken me down
Now keeps me going strong
Thought I'd need to delete all the memories
But they're with me all along

I'm hurt, I'm burned, I'm scarred, I'm scorched
