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 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 sounds

I'll be a wind chime in the window

Catching light to 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 needs me new

I will always reassemble to fit perfectly in view

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
