The Mute (Inhale)

Don't speak
Not a word
I won't listen
Please, be the wiser here
Play the mute and my fortune be yours
Give it some hours
Let time tick some some of this away
Say what you will once the dust has settled
And the first morning light has taken me away

Say what you will, but I can't listen
Consider sides not yours, not mine
Now is not the time
I know you know your way with words
But now is not the time

Don't say
I've lost my place
And I am no longer missed
Please, be the wiser here
Play the mute and my fortune be yours
Home being where the heart is
My journey is without an end
All it takes is a word
When all I need is silence

I'll make no wish of the need
I have nothing more to say
I make no excuses
Please excuse me
I must be on my way
