Jherek Bischoff & Zac Pennington - Someone Else's Muse lyrics

It took all the strength they knew not to consume you & was all that I could muster just to kiss you Watch my waist for days to take this place beside you Like the way the one who loves you is supposed to The way you used to Did you forget? When all who'd soon surpa** me sought respect? The press still hung on every envied breath & could you blame them? We both said things that we'd come to regret: "Here comes success" "You cash the checks" You take my name & braved it with this patience of the saints I flirted with a fame which never came Did doubts dissuade you? Took pains to say "Let nature have her way" & of course she did & you bore the kid These pangs of pride As every eye moves on to you & though you quiet every room It's sometimes hard to hear the truth & sighs aside The way the limelights long for you They shine there colors on me, too & now there's nothing I can do What child is this? The heir to my elusive parentage? That face of his could take him far from this But I'm still childless & neither knows just who the father is The rabbit's dead Was she easily led? You've made your name & trouble loves the cuckold of acclaim These kids can't sense the difference either way & can you blame them? When all my memories now bear your name Sure, we've been blessed Well... more or less These pangs of pride As every eye collides with you & though you quiet every room It's always hard to hear the truth & sighs aside The way the limelight smothers you They cast their colors on me too Now they'll remember me through you Does this amuse you? Am I supposed to? It wasn't meant to Pay your respects It's grand I guess to treat this like a d**h Though now somehow less readily erect I might surprise you & rise to the occasion now again Flesh of my flesh Don't hold your breath Is life unkind? Well pride resolves of all things in due time But who contrives this legacy I leave behind To those born after? Obliged to let the master think she's right Oh, long suffering wife Hell or high-tide I'm by your side It was all that they could do not to consume you & was all that I could muster just to k** you Watched my waist for fifteen days to stand beside you Like the way the one who loves you is supposed to I have my use, too
