The Muted Man

Will you go off
Will you go off without me
I tied myself to the sun
Woke up and left at dawn
Woke up and left at dawn

Will you go off and disregard
This dirty mouth is rinsed of concern
Don't question why
Don't question why

Sizzle out the sparks with my tongue
Then bury them deep in the sand
To avoid explosions
I am the muted man
I am the muted man

Will you go off
Will you go off about me to everyone
I threw myself to the birds
Stayed there and stared awhile
Stayed there and stared awhile

Two vultures circle the choices
Stayed there and smile
I wave to them and hoped
That they would recognize me
They'd recognize me

Seal up the cracks in my voice
Then swallow the pity like rain
To avoid the black cloud
I am the muted man
I am the muted man

Will you go off
I can't be the one
The one, one to, to talk, talk to you

Will you go off
I can't be the one
The one, want to, to talk, talk to you

To avoid
To avoid
To avoid
To avoid
