[Repeat: x2]
Helpless, I am so helpless
(Helpless to you)
Stays this way with time
There's a rising tide
I feel my luck this time's changing
I could hold the sky
If my feet weren't chained to the ground
Words won't stop the blood
From working up a storm
The fix won't keep the fool
From coming back for more
The sea won't stop returning
Action precious gold
As it over powers
Pulls you to the ocean floor
[Repeat: x2]
Helpless, I am so helpless
(Helpless to you)
Stays this way with time
I reach out for the sun
Cold water feels my lungs slowly
I dream I changed your mind
Clutching deep inside of you
Words won't stop the blood
From working up a storm
The fix won't keep the fool
From coming back for more
The sea won't stop returning
Action precious gold
As it over powers
Pulls you to the ocean floor
[Repeat: x4]
Helpless, I am so helpless
(Helpless to you)
Stays this way with time
[Repeat: x3]
Helpless, helpless, helpless
Helpless, helpless to you
