Nemesis - Massive Attack

I love the way you hate the silence
The conversation killer has been found
Everyone’s expecting you to make mistakes
But you refuse to break
I cannot move you’re holding me down
Every breath I take gets harder now
You’re the one controlling this
You have a choice but you can’t choose

Don’t say anything at all cos we both know
This life is taking you over

I stare back at my reflection
A nemesis that I must take to ground
My only fear is you
But you are me
So what am I to do?
There’s no way to end this nightmare
My situation here is so profound
Your greatest challenge is in front of you
There’s no excuse

Don’t say anything at all
Cos we both know this life is leading you astray
You won’t even recognise me anymore
Don’t try

Please stay
Because this conversation’s only just begun
I hope you choke on every single word
That you have sung
Aim high so I can watch you when you take your final fall
I’ll be the one who’s waiting
I’ll be the one who’s waiting

So don’t say anything at all
Cos we both know this life is leading you astray
You don’t seem to recognise me anymore
Sometimes it’s better that way
