My lifeis everythingthat feeds my thirst - like other s sin
My wantsare all I careno shame or guilt - there s nothing there
Look deep into my faceI sell diseasewithout a trace
Fear notbut I can dounless youwant it done to you
As I climb onto your backI will promise not to sting
I will tell you what you want to hear and not mean anything
Then I treat you like a dogas I shoot my venom in
You pretend you didn t knowthat I am a scorpion
My selfand sentimentthere s nothing elsethere s never been
My dreamto be left alonewhere does sadness - the madness I m on my own
Look deepinto my soulits black as coal - like a bullet hole
Fear notget off your kneesthere s no defense - you ll do what I please
As I climb onto your backI will promise not to sting
I will tell you what you want to hear and not mean anything
Then I treat you like a dogas I shoot my venom in
You pretend you didn t knowthat I am a scorpion
As I climb onto your backI will promise not to sting
I will tell you what you want to hear and not mean anything
I will treat you like a dogas I shoot my venom in
Cuz you knew all alongI am a scorpion
My liesto rest assureI agonize - at nothing more
My hopesto steal awayall that you love - I ll soon betray
Look deepinto my pastthe pain I deal - is unsurpassed
I m nota lowly scorpionI m so much worse - I m the fall of man
