Lonely Is The Muse

  • I spent years becoming cool
    And in one single second you can make a decade of my efforts disappear
    I'm just waiting at the bar and you rip open all my scars
    By saying something like, "Didn't know you were here"

    I always knew I was a martyr and that Jesus was one too
    But I was built from special pieces that I learned how to unscrew
    And I can always reassemble to fit perfectly for you
    Or anybody that decides that I'm of use

    Lonely is the muse
    Ah-ah
    Lonely is the muse

    So, where do I go in the process when I'm just an apparatus?
    I've inspired platinum records, I've earned platinum airline status
    And I've mined a couple diamonds from the stories in my head
    But I'm reduced to just a body here in someone else's bed

    I always knew I was a martyr and that Jesus was one too
    But I was built from special pieces that I learned how to unscrew
    And I can always reassemble to fit perfectly for you
    Or anybody that decides that I'm of use

    Lonely is the muse
    Ah-ah
    Lonely is the muse
    Ah-ah

    And I will always be a martyr, I will fill your life with songs
    I'll be a wind chime in the window, catching life you throw around
    And I will tear apart your bedroom, I'll call you in the night
    I will exist in every second just to decorate your life

    And when you're done you can discard me like the others always do
    And I will nurse my wounds until another artist stains me new

    And I will always reassemble to fit perfectly in you
    For anybody that decides that I'm of use

    Lonely is the muse
    Ah-ah
    Lonely is the muse
    Ah-ah
    Lonely is the muse
