Lyrics

[Verse 1]
'Neath the Neverland's 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
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
Gates of heaven are open wide
God help me, baby, I'm trapped inside
Feel like I'm buried alive
[Verse 4]
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 your hair
[Verse 5]
Gates of heaven are open wide
God help me, baby, I'm trapped inside
Feel like I'm buried alive
[Verse 6]
Possibilities limitless
Just give me something that's more than this
One shot and I'll never miss yes
[Verse 7]
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
