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
And 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
Lonely and forgotten
is the
