Scorpions Don’t Live Forever lyrics

[Verse 1]
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 unhuman in the way I hate you
There's blue blood coursing through me in dark veins, I keep it cool

[Pre-Chorus]
In blistering heat, I'll burrow in the next layer down
But you’re hindering me, out for the count, you're circling around

[Chorus]
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 impulsivе habit to break and a secret that I can't shakе
The stinger hanging over my head pointed at you for my sake
You know, scorpions don't live forever, and that keeps me awake

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
In blistering heat, I’ll burrow in the next layer down
But you're hindering me, out for the count, you’re circling around
[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
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 until we both come to

[Chorus]
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
