Scorpio
Scorpio
It’s always a Scorpio

We’re not supposed to be together
Lel
Then why does it keep happening?

The stars
Associate me to the Earth and you with Fire
Question:
Is not the earth filled with fire?
That spills out of volcanos
What touches it bursts into flames
That’s how they’re connected, but no
The stars say different
The stars say different

You’re not supposed to be here
Scorpio
