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
