The Scorpion

LYRICS:
[Chorus]
The Scorpion stung me!

I have venom flowing in my veins that nobody can see.

From this pain, I'll never be free.

Meanwhile she laughs at my suffering with glee.

[Verse 1]
I loved the wrong woman.

Someone truly inhuman.

Who cares nothing for me.

Who finds my suffering funny.

[Verse 2]
I went to jail because I loved her.

My mind back then was in such a blur.

But she just made fun of me.

Me being locked up made her so happy.

[Chorus]
The Scorpion stung me!

I have venom flowing in my veins that nobody can see.

From this pain, I'll never be free.

Meanwhile she laughs at my suffering with glee.

[Verse 3]
The worst crime I ever committed...

Was loving the wrong woman.

I thought I was smart...

So how did I end up choosing the worst person?

She laughed at me for years....

Bad mouthing about me to our peers.

I had to walk away...

Into the darkness where I can miserably decay.

[Verse 4]
I don't think I deserve all this pain that has happened to me.

But that doesn't change it from being my reality.

Sadly, life is not how you want it to be.

I'm condemned to an unloved life of pure misery.

I don't know what kind of man I was in my past life...

But in this life...

I would've been a good husband to a good wife.

But I'm not allowed that...

Instead I've only been shown bad people.

Everyone I've ever known...

has been revealed to be evil.

[Chorus]
The Scorpion stung me!

I have venom flowing in my veins that nobody can see.

From this pain, I'll never be free.

Meanwhile she laughs at my suffering with glee.

[Verse 5]
What did I really do to deserve the pain you gave me?

I loved you, but hate is all you can see.

I would've given you love that is unconditional.

But you just find my love so hysterical.

[Verse 6]
I now know that the problem is not me.

But it's you...

The one who wants me to suffer so badly.

I am a good person...

but something is wrong with your wiring.

Your desire for my suffering...

Is so tiring.

[Verse 7]
I may never find success or love...

From my situation I may never rise above...

But I'll be as happy as I can be.

One day...

From your venom...

I'll finally be free.

[Verse 8]
Hopefully.

[Chorus]
The Scorpion stung me!

I have venom flowing in my veins that nobody can see.

From this pain, I'll never be free.

Meanwhile she laughs at my suffering with glee.
