lyrics

Dear Helix
Save me from despair
Cure my strange condition
Answer me this prayer

Dear Helix
Fix my broken parts
I know there's something wrong here
Why'd I press nine starts?

My constant random movements cause confusion
And none of them are safe when I'm in town
My problem only lies in execution
As far as I can tell my plan is sound

Oh Helix
Save me from myself
Cure my crazy spasms
Bring me back to health

Oh Helix
Clear my clouded mind
I sometimes move correctly
but I'm 20 seconds behind

Hey Helix
Can you keep a secret?
I haven't told a single soul before
I can hear ten thousand tiny voices
And as I'm getting closer, I hear more

Please, Helix
Save me from my madness
Anarchy is king inside my head
If you cannot free me from my demons
I fear they may not leave me till I'm dead

There may be one way to lose them faster
I've heard the voices talk amongst themselves
If I ever do become the master
they will all move on to someone else

Help, Helix
Just a little more
I can sense salvation
just beyond that door

Hi Helix
or Omastar, I guess
I've been free for weeks now
Nothing to request

Hey Helix
why'd the voices stop?
Am I better off now?
It's lonely at the top
