The Muse

You're a diamond that I'm afraid to touch

You're damn near flawless and I'm sure you'd cut

Off my eyes, my hands, my head, my heart

You'd tear this canvas skin apart

Oh, what a waste of human art that be

You're a dungeon, but you're made of glass

Your prisoners have no idea they're trapped

'Cause you look so beautiful inside

It makes us feel like we're alive

But lord knows we'll never survive your walls

Didn't you know that all along

You didn't need to hear your song

And if you don't know that

Then you might as well be dead...

Medusa's child preserved her former looks

She kept her out of all the storybooks

Just to get back at all of the men

Who have tried time and time again

To claim the right of her demise and end

A million years go by and you're still around

You're knocking us off of our feet you're knocking us down

But we still can't leave you alone

The way you move one would be prone

To want to be turned into stone by you

Didn't you know that all along

You didn't need to hear your song

And if you don't know that

Then you might as well be dead...

You make me feel so alive

But it's consequence I want to be dead

Was it how you arrived?

I can't tell or was it in

The way you left us here?

Didn't you know that all along

You didn't need to hear your song

And if you don't know that

Then you might as well

Might as well, oh...

You didn't need to hear your song

'Cause you just knew it all along

You didn't know that

So you might as well

Might as well be dead...
