Lyrics David Gray – 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

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
