[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 where do I go in the process when I’m just an apparatus?

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

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
