The Scorpion

My life is everything
That feeds my thirst, that causes sin
My wants are all I care
No shame or 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

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
Then I treat you like a dog, as I shoot my venom in
You pretend you didn't know, that I am a scorpion

My self 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

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
Then I treat you like a dog, as I shoot my venom in
You pretend you didn't know, that I am a scorpion

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, ya!

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 feel is unsurpassed
I'm not a lowly scorpion
I'm so much worse, I'm the fall of man
