[Verse 1]
Break me in
Teach us to cheat
And to lie, and cover up
What shouldn't be shared
And the truth's unwinding
Scraping away at my mind
Please stop asking me to describe

[Chorus]
For one moment
I wish you'd hold your stage
With no feelings at all
Open-minded
I'm sure I used to be so free

[Verse 2]
Self-expressed
Exhausting for all to see and to be
What you want and what you need
And the truth's unwinding
Scraping away at my mind
Please stop asking me to describe

[Chorus]
For one moment
I wish you'd hold your stage
With no feelings at all
Open-minded
I'm sure I used to be so free

For one moment
I wish you'd hold your stage
With no feelings at all
Open-minded
I'm sure I used to be so free

[Outro]
Wash me away
Clean your body of me
Erase all the memories
They'll only bring us pain
And I've seen all I'll ever need

Muse

Muse is an English rock band from Teignmouth, Devon, consisting of Matthew Bellamy (guitarist, keyboardist, singer, songwriter, middle of the picture), Christopher Wolstenholme (bassist, background vocalist, to the left of the picture), and Dominic Howard (drummer, to the right of the picture). They often infuse classical piano and strings (and sometimes even choirs) with catchy guitar and piano hooks.

Muse is mostly known due to their alternative genre of music and also their live performances.

Some have compared Muse to other bands such as Radiohead; Though this analogy has faded during past years since Muse has changed its taste.
