Dear Mistress Helix (Lyrics Only)

I found a way through the maze of sidelines
So be kind enough to indulge me this time
I know these pills are a trail back to where I once stood
And son, you raised me good...

The moon is so full that it spills down on me
The silence is washing me clean
How long have you been here next to me?
My illness is the medicine I need

[Chorus]
It's harder I know
Everywhere that I go
I just can't forget
The way that you stayed after you left
Dear Mistress Helix send down your hand

We'll dance above the land this evening
If we need a line, we'll stretch our shadows thin
We'll keep time like a record after the song
And I've sailed before but never this long

[Chorus]
Because the farther that you go,
You see I drop like a stone
Everytime that I look below

And they'll be searching soon that's right
But I have opened up my eyes
Cause when I see your face here within this light
I just might stay here all night

[Chorus]
Send down your hand, and I will follow
It's harder I know
The farther I go
For those down below
To pull me away
To drag me home
Just don't drag me home
Don't drag me home
Dear Mistress Helix send down your hand
