All but Six - The Helping Hand Lyrics

There are two hands
Pressed perfectly together
Mirrored images
But one is hopeful and the other knows better
When calloused digits do their dance
Friction makes the balance shift
So, what's left to pray for
If I'm right, and you cannot escape my grip

It's me again, can you hear me
When you were lost, I'm what you found
And I don't make a sound
My silence drowns your screaming

So, who am I
I'm your only friend. Can you feel me
The weight that made you sink this low and I am the hole
You'd have to kill you to kill me

Every night, just waiting for the sunrise
Because you know, at night I come alive
And everything glows in the moonlight
What one hand hides is what the other is bound to find
I'll pick apart the people that you lay by
Give you another reason just to leave them at the wayside
I'll open every heart to make you realize that you're all mine
I feed on your fears in the dark

I've been walking down the street and talking to myself
Keep your head low. Don't let the pain show
You've got me and nobody else
So, when your shadow is getting thin
And you think it's safe to try again
Let them in and I'll show them how I move
They're nothing like you
They'll never love you like I do

Entwined together
You are mine forever
Every night just waiting for the sunrise
Because you know, at night I come alive
Entwined together
You are mine forever
They're nothing like you
They'll never love you like I do
Entwined together
You are mine forever
And everything glows in the moonlight
What one hand hides, the other is bound to find
Entwined together
You are mine forever
They're nothing like you
They'll never love you
They'll never love you like I do

I have never made a hard choice by myself
Without the night's hands doing their worst to help
And I have never loved anything but their abuse
A sick obsession with how gracefully they tie the noose
I've tried thinking of something with someone else
But, in every bed, the same ceiling. It's hell
From the darkest corners of the room
The night's hands will find their way to you
