You didn’t see what I am

[Verse 1] I wear my sins like a crown of thorns, Unmoved by your cries, I weather the storm. Fear not what I can do to you, For the venom runs deep, it will see us through. I take what I want, no shame in the steal, Your trust was the currency I chose to reveal. Bound by my nature, no conscience to sway, In the shadows, my games will forever stay. [Chorus 1] I will tell you what you want to hear, Whisper poison cloaked in sincerity near. You pretend you didn’t see what I am, But the scorpion’s sting is always the plan. [Verse 2] Alone in the mirror, I see no remorse, A soul long shattered, derailed from its course. There's nothing else, there’s never been, Just the hollow laugh of the beast within. Promises crumble like ash in my hands, Each lie a thread in my twisted plans. I built this cage, and I hold the key, The darkness inside is what defines me. [Chorus 1] I will tell you what you need to feel, A web of lies, my favorite wheel. You act surprised at what I’ve become, But my sting was always destined to come. [Chorus 2] ‘Cause you knew all along what I am, A predator walking in a human’s sham. Your silence fed the monster in my veins, Now you drown with me in these poisoned chains. [Verse 3] All that you love, I'll soon betray, Devour the light and turn skies to gray. I am the storm, the breaking tide, The fall of man where hope cannot hide. Much worse than a villain, a void without name, An echo of chaos that ignites the flame. I sting not for need but for who I am, The scorpion’s nature is the fall of man.
