Nemesis

'Neath an avalanche, soft as moss

I'm a creeping and intangible sense of loss

I'm the memory you can't get out your head

If I leave you now, you'll wish you were somewhere else instead



I'm the manta ray, I'm the louse

I am a photograph they found in your burned out house

I'm 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 I'm trapped inside

Feel like I'm buried alive



I'm the bottom line, of the joke

I'm in ecstasy, spilling like bright egg yolk

I'm the thoughts you're too ashamed to ever share

And I am the smell of it, you're trying to wash out of your hair



Gates of Heaven are open wide

God help me baby I'm lost inside

Feel like I'm buried alive



Possibilities limitless

Just give me something that's more than this

One shot and I'll never miss

Yeah



I'm 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 I'm life, sweet life itself



Yeah

Yeah

Yeah
