[Verse 1]
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”
[Chorus]
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
[Post-Chorus]
Lonely is the muse
Ah-ah
Lonely is the muse
[Verse 2]
So whеre do I go in the process
Whеn 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

[Chorus]
Always knew I was a martyr
And 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
[Post-Chorus]
Lonely is the muse
Ah-ah
Lonely is the muse
Ah-ah
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
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
And I will always reassemble to fit perfectly in view
For anybody that decides that I’m of use
[Post-Chorus]
Lonely is the muse
Ah-ah
Lonely is the muse
Ah-ah
Lonely is the muse
[Outro]
Lonely and forgotten is the
