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 muse

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 muse

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 picture, 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't 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 muse

Lonely is the muse

Ah-ah

Lonely is the muse

Ah-ah

Lonely is the muse
