"Lonely Is The Muse" lyrics

"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-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-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—

Halsey previewed "Lonely Is The Muse" for the first time live at her concert at Sziget Festival in Budapest, Hungary, one week before the release. She told the crowd first hinting at her single "Lucky", "For every Halsey pop song, there's a Halsey rock song to match... I like to do both, so I feel like I shouldn't have to choose." "Lonely Is The Muse" was released on the 15th of August, 2024.
A promotional photo of this song depicts Halsey putting her foot in a high-heal shoe on the penis of the statue on Victor Noir's grave.
