the muse

Darren Criss

Youââ?¬â?¢re a diamond that Iââ?¬â?¢m afraid to touch,
Youââ?¬â?¢re damn near flawless and Iââ?¬â?¢m sure youââ?¬â?¢d cut on my
Eyes, my hands, my head, my heart
Youââ?¬â?¢d tear this canvas skin apart
Oh what a waste of human art that be.

Youââ?¬â?¢re a dungeon but youââ?¬â?¢re made of glass
Your prisoners have no idea theyââ?¬â?¢re trapped
Cause you look so beautiful inside
It makes us feel like weââ?¬â?¢re alive
But Lord knows weââ?¬â?¢ll never survive your walls

But didnââ?¬â?¢t you know that all along
You didnââ?¬â?¢t need to hear your song
And if you donââ?¬â?¢t know that
Then you might as well be dead

Medusaââ?¬â?¢s child preserved her former looks
She kept her out of all the story books
Just to get back at all of the men who had tried time and time again
To claim the right of her demise and end

A million years go by and youââ?¬â?¢re still around
Youââ?¬â?¢re knocking us off of our feet, youââ?¬â?¢re knocking us down
But we still canââ?¬â?¢t leave you alone, the way you move one would be
Prone to want to be turned into stone by you

But didnââ?¬â?¢t you know that all along
You didnââ?¬â?¢t need to hear your song
And if you donââ?¬â?¢t know that
Then you might as well be dead

You make me feel so alive
But itââ?¬â?¢s consequence, I want to be dead
Was it how you arrived? I canââ?¬â?¢t tell
Or was it in the way you left us here

(Boo boo doo doo)

But didnââ?¬â?¢t you know that all along
You didnââ?¬â?¢t need to hear your song
And if you donââ?¬â?¢t know that then you might as well-
Might as well oh

You didnââ?¬â?¢t need to hear your song
Cause you just knew it all along
But you didnââ?¬â?¢t know that so you might as wellââ?¬â?
Oh might as well be dead
