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 doUnless you want it done to you
oh ohhhh!
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 bullethole
Fear not, get off your knees
There's no defense, you'll do what i please
oh ohh!
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 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 that I am a scorpion, ya!
My lies, to reach the shore
I aggrandize and nothing more
My hopes, to steal away
All 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

That feeds my thirst that causes sin

No shame or guilt, there's nothing there
Look deep into my face
I sell deceit without a trace
Fear not what i can doUnless you want it done to you
