Liquid Poetry: " Lonely is the Muse"

 

  By: Halsey

"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"
