LETRA

Muse

You're a diamond that I'm afraid to touch,
You're damn near flawless and I'm sure you'd cut
On 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

But 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 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 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 on would be prone
to want to be turned into stone by you

But 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 of being dead
Was it how you arrived? I can't tell
Or was it in the way you left us here

(boo boo doo doo)

But 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
But you didn't know that so you might as well--
oh might as well be dead
