Muse

There's a pistol on the paper from last time we talked

I throw her in a field and tell her to speak, it's a threat with our clothes off

Boiling my blood til it's bubbling under the skin of my thighs, it's love

But you would never think that

if you were looking at it from above

She's clothed in black egg whites

Hair to the floor that's weighed with water

She smiles at me like I'm camera

She's a shadow that's mimicking me slightly wrong

For her I'd attach a Ford Bronco 1970 at my hip and jump into the sea

And when I meet her at the bottom I'd let her do anything to me

I put a pen to paper like putting a gun to my head

No human body permitted to treat me the way I beg

I beg her to

She arched and broke her back in my open skin

The only one who can kill me with permission

And honey that's all I was made for, all I was meant to do

I'm a microphone for all her clogged words to comb through

And honey that's all I was made for, all I was meant to do

I'm just something, something made for you

I put a pen to paper, I hold her like she's a gun

And she comes into me like water into your shoes, and you can hide but you can't run

Playing quiet on the cassette

Using silence like a threat

I put a pen to paper like

putting a gun to my head

No human body permitted to treat me the way I beg

I beg her to

She arched and broke her back in my open skin

The only one who can kill me with permission

And she's the only one that keeps me terrified to die

That someday somehow somewhere the ink in her eyes will dry

And everything I never said is only six feet away

All the unwritten songs humming static in her ribcage

And when her work is complete, her masterpiece on a stage

You will clap for her, for the mess of me she's made

And when her work is complete, her masterpiece on a stage

You will clap for her, for the mess of me she's made

And honey that's all I was made for, all I was meant to do

I'm just something, something made for you

And honey that's all I was made for, all I was meant to do

I'm just something, something made for you
