Lyrics
My life is everything, that feeds my thirst that causes sin
My wants are all I care, no shame and guilt, there’s nothing there
Look deep into my face, I sell deceit without a trace
Fear not what I can do, unless you want it done to you, uoh
As I climb onto your back, I will promise not to sting
I will tell you what you want to hear, and not mean anything
And then I treat you like a dog, as I shoot my venom in
You pretend you didn’t know, that I am a Scorpion, oh
Myself, I’m centered in, there’s nothing else, there’s never been
And I dream, to be left alone, with the sadness, the madness of my own
Look deep into my soul, it’s black as coal, like a bullet hole
Fear not, get off your knees, there’s no defense, you’ll do what I please, oh
As I climb onto your back, I will promise not to sting
I will tell you what you want to hear, and not mean anything
And then I treat you like a dog, as I shoot my venom in
You pretend you didn’t know, that I am a Scorpion, oh
As I climb onto your back, I will promise not to sting
I will tell you what you want to hear, and not mean anything
I will treat you like a dog, as I shoot my venom in
‘Cause you knew all along, I am a Scorpion, yeah
My lies to reach the shore, I aggrandize and nothing more
My hopes, to steal away, all that you love, I’ll soon betray
Look deep into my past, the pain I deal is unsurpassed
I’m not a lowly Scorpion, I’m so much worse, I’m the fall of man
