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, oh-ohhh!
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, oh
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, oh-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
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 promise not to sting
i 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 deal is unsurpassed
i'm not a lowly scorpion
i'm so much worse; i'm the fall of man
