The Crying Room

Charlotte Wessels


Muse, sing to me
The story of a man who bailed on destiny
And prayed to the gods below
Split the ground, swallow me whole

Muse, sing through me
Of failure and of fear
For I know how it feels
Oh, to the dogs alike
Who am I to even try

I know when it's over
I won't know why I thought
I'd die, but I did
What can go wrong
Except everything?

Oh, it's either a failure to launch
Or I'm flying too high towards the Sun
What can go wrong, except everything?
What could end if I never begin

Oh, it's either a failure to launch
Or I'm flying too high towards the Sun
What can go wrong, except everything?
What could end if I never begin

Muse, oh, would you sing to me
Of anyone a mess like me
Try me!

Muse, sing to me
Tell me of a place where all of us can be
Oh, to the gods alike
All we need is a minute to breathe

Oh, it's either a failure to launch
Or I'm flying too high towards the Sun
What can go wrong, except everything?
What could end if I never begin

Oh, it's either a failure to launch
Or I'm flying too high towards the Sun
What can go wrong, except everything?
What could end if I never begin

All is beautiful and all is good
All the monsters are defeated too
Until that day I'll have space for you
Here in my crying room

All is beautiful and all is good
And all the monsters are defeated too
Until that day I'll have space for you
Here in my crying room

All is beautiful and all is good
And all the monsters are defeated too
Until that day I'll have space for you
Here in my crying room

Oh, it's either a failure to launch
Or I'm flying too high to the Sun
What can go wrong, except everything?
What could end if I never begin

I know when it's over (oh, it's either a failure)
I won't know why I thought I'd die, but I did
What can go wrong, except everything?
What could end if I never begin?

I know when it's over
I won't know why I thought I'd die, but I did
What can go wrong, except everything?

All is beautiful and all is good
All the monsters are defeated too
Until that day I'll have space for you
Here in my crying room
