Nemesis

Neath an avalanche
Soft as moss
I am a creeping and intangible sense of loss
Im the memory you cant get out your head
But if I leave you now
Youll wish you were somewhere else instead

Im the manta ray
Im the louse
I am the photograph
They found in your burned out house
I am the sound of money washing down the drain
I am the pack of lies
Baby that keeps you sane

Gates of heaven are open wide
God help me baby Im trapped inside
Feels like Im buried alive

Im the bottom line
Of the joke
I am ecstasy
Spilling like bright egg-yolk
Im the thoughts youre too ashamed to ever share
And I am the smell of it
Youre trying to wash out of your hair

Gates of heaven are open wide
God help me baby Im lost inside
Feels like Im buried alive
Possibilities limitless
Just give me something thats more than this
One shot and Ill never miss
Yes

Im the babe that sleeps
Through the Blitz
I am a sudden and quite unexpected twist
I am your one true love
Who sleeps with someone else
I am your nemesis
Baby Im life sweet life itself
