David Gray Nemesis lyrics

'Neath an avalanche, soft as moss
I am 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 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, I'm trapped inside
Feels 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 your hair

Gates of heaven are open wide
God, help me, baby, I'm lost inside
Feels 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, yeah
