My life is everything 
That feeds my thirsts that causes sin 
My wants are all I care 
No shame and guilt 
There's nothing there 
Look deep into my veins 
I sell deceit without a trace 
Fear not what I can do 
Unless you want it done to you 

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 

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 
I will treat you like a dog 
As I shoot my venom in 
'Cause you knew all along 
I am the 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
