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

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

Lonely is the muse

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

I will always reassemble to fit perfectly in you

For anybody that decides that I'm of use

Lonely is the muse

Ah

Lonely is the muse

Ah

Lonely is the muse

Lonely and forgotten aside
