Help me identify this plant. Seems like some type of mint, has a sweet lemony smell and the flowers last well into fall

There are no flowers coming out of the top at any time, so I am not convinced that it is bee balm from the pictures provided in the encyclopedia. If this helps it spreads by roots/ vines that get very thick and almost wood-like when they go dormant. They are hard to cut down and will give you slivers and poke you without gloves.
