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 am 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 you 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
yes
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
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 am 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 you 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
yes
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
