Scorpions Don't Live Forever
You've been on my mind, you've been on hers
I wonder if you took the time to get better or let yourself feel worse
I feel so unhuman in the way I hate you
There's blue blood coursing through me in dark veins, I keep it cool
In blistering heat, I'll burrow in the next layer down
But you're hindering me, down for the count, you're circling around
Like a hawk in the sky, planning when to make the nosedive
Rattlesnakes in the grass blades, you'll only see me under black light
I got an impulsive habit to break and a secret that I can't shake
The stinger hanging over my head, pointed at you for my sake
You know scorpions don't live forever
And that keeps me awake
I didn't want to keep talking once I heard your voice
I was searching for any excuse, a speaker to use to drown out the noise
I didn't want you sleep over, but it felt like the grown up thing to do
Thinking about how long it'd take to get over while I'm under you
In blistering heat, I'll burrow in the next layer down
But you're hindering me, down for the count, you're circling around
Like a hawk in the sky, planning when to make the nosedive
Rattlesnakes in the grass blades, you'll only see me under black light
I got an impulsive habit to break and a secret that I can't shake
The stinger hanging over my head pointed at you for my sake
You know scorpions don't live forever
I'll love you like a sandstorm and sweep you away
Encapsulate you in a current and leave you in a haze
Got a flair for the dramatic, got my eye on you
Gotta find a way to explain my point of view
It's embarrassing to want to find my way back to you
I'll keep it on a back burner 'til we both come to
Like a hawk in the sky, planning when to make the nosedive
Rattlesnakes in the grass blades, you'll only see me under black light
Got an impulsive habit to break and a secret that I can't shake
Stinger hanging over my head pointed at you for my sake
You know scorpions don't live forever
And that keeps me awake
I wonder if you took the time to get better or let yourself feel worse
I feel so unhuman in the way I hate you
There's blue blood coursing through me in dark veins, I keep it cool
In blistering heat, I'll burrow in the next layer down
But you're hindering me, down for the count, you're circling around
Like a hawk in the sky, planning when to make the nosedive
Rattlesnakes in the grass blades, you'll only see me under black light
I got an impulsive habit to break and a secret that I can't shake
The stinger hanging over my head, pointed at you for my sake
You know scorpions don't live forever
And that keeps me awake
I didn't want to keep talking once I heard your voice
I was searching for any excuse, a speaker to use to drown out the noise
I didn't want you sleep over, but it felt like the grown up thing to do
Thinking about how long it'd take to get over while I'm under you
In blistering heat, I'll burrow in the next layer down
But you're hindering me, down for the count, you're circling around
Like a hawk in the sky, planning when to make the nosedive
Rattlesnakes in the grass blades, you'll only see me under black light
I got an impulsive habit to break and a secret that I can't shake
The stinger hanging over my head pointed at you for my sake
You know scorpions don't live forever
I'll love you like a sandstorm and sweep you away
Encapsulate you in a current and leave you in a haze
Got a flair for the dramatic, got my eye on you
Gotta find a way to explain my point of view
It's embarrassing to want to find my way back to you
I'll keep it on a back burner 'til we both come to
Like a hawk in the sky, planning when to make the nosedive
Rattlesnakes in the grass blades, you'll only see me under black light
Got an impulsive habit to break and a secret that I can't shake
Stinger hanging over my head pointed at you for my sake
You know scorpions don't live forever
And that keeps me awake
