Scorpius

[Verse 1]
Heat licking sweat from my collarbone
Night shading my physique
Every step feels watched
Like the dark wants in
I’ve starved my hunger in public
Fed it secrets instead
Every desire I buried
Learned how to live in my head

[Pre-Chorus]
The desert doesn’t judge the craving
It only asks what you’ll risk
I didn’t come here to be cleansed
I came to be marked, not kissed

[Chorus]
In the desert I met the scorpion
Low and coiled in the sand
Eyes like a promise you shouldn’t keep
Still dying to understand
He said "Power is intimate"
It enters slow, then it stings
You don’t seduce the darkness
You let it crawl under your skin

[Verse 2]
His shadow climbed up the horizon
Tail carving signs in the night
Every fear I’d been hiding
Started begging for sight
He said "Desire is a weapon"
If you learn how to wait
Let them come close enough trembling
Then decide their fate

[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve worn control like a warning
Let it linger, let it ache
They mistake my silence for mercy
That’s their first mistake

[Chorus]
In the desert I met the scorpion
Venom thick in the air
He said "They’ll feel you before you touch them"
Before you’re even there
Said "You don’t chase what you want"
You let it circle, then cling
You don’t beg for devotion
You command it with the sting

[Bridge]
He marked me slow — ceremonial
A verdict written in fire
Venom rewriting my bloodstream
Turning instinct to empire
I saw eyes pull toward me
Like gravity learning my name
That’s the law of the scorpion
Desire disciplined by pain

[Break / Whisper]
Let them think it’s mutual
Let them think it’s their idea

[Final Chorus]
Now I wear temptation like armor
Every glance gets caught
I don’t need touch to undo them
I undo them with thought
From the heat of the wasteland
To the stars that all see
I rise etched in obsession
I am great— Scorpius
Scorpius!

[Outro]
Low breath
Sharp sting
Slow smile
Game over
I am great— SCORPIUS
