Desert Scorpion

from #Muricana by Revelator

/

lyrics

I wandered the nights alone
The darkness called me and offered me home
But instead I wallowed within
Unwanted in this skin

I will cry no more

I wanted to figure it out
Years of sadness trapped in years of doubt
And I could only run away

Sands swept over the passage of time
I met her again and she offered me wine
The desert wind locked us in the past
I forgot how long that pain did last
Through the rapture I let her back in
Her scorpion sting buried in my skin

I will not bleed for her

I thought I had figured it out
Years of sadness washed away in doubt
I drifted back in time
I gave my body and lost my mind
I gave my body and lost my mind
I gave my body and lost my mind

And she left again

I wandered the nights alone
The darkness called me and offered me home
But instead I wallowed within
Unwanted in this skin

I will cry once more

I thought I had figured it out
Years of sadness returning now
I had drifted back in time

I started to figure it out
Years of sadness trapped in years of doubt
And I could only run away
