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
