My Story 01:32
lyrics
buy track
MUTE SINGING MY STORY IS BIT UNIQUE TO SAY THE LEAST. A MUTE ONE DAY, THEN ANOTHER DAY A BEAST. A TALE THAT SOME BELIEVE IS TRUE! SO HERE'S THE DIRT ON THE BITING MUTE, I NEED TO BITE, UNTIL I FIND MYSELF DECEASED. FOR YEARS I WRESTLED TO RESTRAIN, MY GNAWING URGE TO BITE, THOSE WHO WANT TO GET TOO CLOSE, I KNOW IT ISN'T RIGHT. I NEARLY WENT INSANE MY FRIENDS, I CAN'T IMAGINE WHY. WILL I HAVE THIS CURSE OF MINE, UNTIL THE DAY I DIE? AS THE TIMES THEY KEPT A CHANGIN', IN THESE SCENES OF MY DISGUISE. ALL THOSE BITES OF IN-DISCRETION, JUST TO KEEP FROM MY DEMISE, MY DEMISE. BUT THERE COULD BE A LESSON HERE, THAT MAY BE USEFUL TOO, OR WILL THE MUTE PASS ON THE CURSE, TO SOMEONE MAYBE YOU?

Parrot in a Cage 00:48
lyrics
buy track
MUTE SINGERS WHEN SHE'S PUSHED AND WHEN SHE'S POKED, LIKE AN PARROT IN A CAGE. AND IS OFFERED UP A FINGER, One of the kids pokes her and gets bit and the other pushes her into a conga line with her in the lead. MUTE SINGERS (CONT'D) THAT SHE CLENCH'S IN A RAGE. POLLY WANT A CRACKER, SPEAK NOW BIRDY SPEAK. IT WASN'T SO PERTY! IN FACT, IT'S PERTY WEAK. SHE ACTUALLY THOUGHT SHE WAS FINALLY MAD. THAT SHE'D MENTALLY CRACKED LIKE THAT WALNUT SHE HAD.

This Thing That I Am 00:47

MUTE SINGING THIS THING THAT I AM, AND THE MORE I ADMIT, HAVING THOUGHT TIME TO TIME, HERE AND THERE, QUITE A BIT. (MORE) LIGHT CUE-B IN MUTE SINGING (CONT'D) MY COMPASSIONATE SIDE, REALLY WANTS TO COME THROUGH, BUT BELIEVE YOU ME HONEY, NOT EASY TO DO. (Sinatra out) I WANTED TO SPEAK, I YEARNED TO BE CLEAR. BUT THE SOUNDS OF MY SOUL, HAD A FILTER RIGHT HERE.

Small Frightened Child 01:12
lyrics
buy track
MUTE SINGING JUST IMAGINE IF YOU WILL, A SMALL FRIGHTENED CHILD, YEARNING TO CRY OUT, OR TO EVEN CRY. SEEING THE WORRY, IN MY MOMMY'S EYES, SHE WOULD JUST ROCK ME, AND SING LULLABIES. I STAYED IN HER ARMS, SOMETIMES THROUGH THE NIGHT, OR UNTIL WHEN SHE THOUGHT, IT WOULD ALL BE ALRIGHT. SHE COULD HAVE JUST SIMPLY, SHAKEN OFF THOSE THOUGHTS, BUT INSTEAD SHE WAS TAKIN', TO SHAKIN' ME LOTS. TO UTTER A WORD, OH SHE TRIED HER BEST, AND KEPT RIGHT ON MISUNDERSTANDING ME AT BEST. OH, MISUNDERSTANDING ME.

Baby Mute 00:42
lyrics
buy track
MUTE SINGERS THE BABY MUTE IS BORN WITH TEETH, SHE GNAWS AND CHEWS AND BITES. BUT WHEN SHE BITES SHE QUICKLY FINDS, THAT SHE'S NOT VERY LIKED. AS SHE GROWS SHE QUICKLY KNOWS, SHE'S JUST NOT LIKE THE REST, AND THOSE AROUND HER QUICKLY SEE , SHE'S RARELY AT HER BEST. A MUTED GIRL IN A CHATTY WORLD SHE'LL HAVE TO TAKE MORE HEAT, IF SHE DON'T TALK INSTEAD OF BITE, SHE'LLHAVE TO BE LIGHT ON HER FEET.

I Am Shocked 00:45
lyrics
buy track
NANNY I AM GOING TO HAVE TO TELL, ABOUT THOSE TEETH YOU USE, AND SHOW YOUR MOM THE RESULTS OF, YOUR MENTAL BITE ISSUES. I AM SHOCKED AT WHAT I SEE, AND I CAN'T IGNORE THIS BITE, YOU CANNOT GET AWAY WITH THIS, ASSAULTING ISN'T RIGHT. YOU MUSN'T KEEP THIS THING ALIVE, IF YOU HOPE TO MAKE IT THROUGH, A LIFE WITH RULES OF RIGHT AND WRONG....OF THINGS YOU CAN PURSUE AND CANNOT DO.

Alarming Traits 00:38
lyrics

AS THE CHILD BEGINS TO GROW, ALARMING TRAITS BEGIN TO SHOW, WILL SHE MANAGE TO MAKE HER ENDS MEET. WITH SOME BAD ATTITUDE, AND UNSTABLY VIEWED, SHE FINDS HOW TO MAKE HER OWN HEAT.

Couldn't Stop If She Tried 00:45
lyrics

MUTE SINGERS NOW THE MUTE LEAVES PUBERTY, SHE'S NOW A MUTE ADULT, AND WILL SHE MOVE INTO MAINSTREAM, OR SLIP INTO A CULT? WILL SHE GO FROM BAD TO GOOD, IT'S TIME TO NOW DECIDE, BUT LITTLE DOES THE MUTE GIRL KNOW, SHE COULDN'T STOP IF SHE TRIED. NO, SHE COULDN'T STOP IF SHE TRIED! NO SHE COULDN'T STOP IF SHE TRIED NO NO NO COULDN'T STOP.

Now He's Gone 00:42
lyrics

LIGHT CUE-A OUT LIGHT CUE-C IN MUTE SINGERS NOW HE'S GONE SHE MADE HER STAND, TO BITE SHE CAN'T CONTROL. IT'S TAKING ROOT NOW IN HER MIND, AND IN HER HEART AND SOUL. SHE NOW ACCEPTS HER DESTINY, HER PLACE IN SPACE AND TIME, (MORE) MUTE SINGERS (CONT'D) SHE'LL BE THAT FREAK OF NATURE NOW, THAT SHYS FROM ALL MANKIND.

Loving Her Is Wrong 00:40
lyrics

MUTE SINGERS WHEN LOVING HER IS WRONG, AND HIS PAIN WON'T GO AWAY, CAN HIS WOUNDS BEGIN TO HEAL, OR WILL THEY ALWAYS STAY THAT WAY. MUTE SINGERS (CONT'D) AND WHAT CAN A POOR MUTE DO, TO GET LIGHT CUE-OUT OUT OF THE FRAY, TO TO EVOLVE HER PATHETIC LIFESTYLE AND NOT JUST THROW IT ALL AWAY

Her Urge To Chew 00:56
lyrics

MUTE SINGERS WE WONDER WHAT THE MUTE WILL DO, WHEN SHE CAN'T STOP HER URGE TO CHEW, WHERE CAN HER VICTIMS GO FROM HERE, WITH MISSING LIMBS AND THOUGHTS OF FEAR?...WHILE RUNNING AWAY ALL WHILE RUNNING AWAY!

The Leopard Inside 00:46
lyrics
buy track
MUTE SINGERS CAN THE MUTE LEARN FROM HER PAST, LESSONS THAT SHE HOPES WILL LAST, CAN SHE TRULY EMBRACE HER LEOPARD INSIDE? WILL THE CURSE OF HER ANCIENT TIME, KEEP THE MUTE IN AN ANCIENT BIND, OR WILL SHE PASS OFF THE CURSE SHE CARRIES INSIDE?

The Curse of the Biting Mute 02:20
lyrics
buy track
MUTE SINGERS AND CAST SO THERE'S THE DIRT ON THE BITING MUTE, AND ALL OF IT QUITE TRUE, SHE HAS AN ANCIENT URGE TO BITE, ONTO SOMEONE LIKE YOU. FOR YEARS SHE HAD THE URGE TO BITE, AND KEEP NO-ONE TOO CLOSE, KNOWING THEY'LL JUST GET A NIP, SHE BIT THOSE SHE LOVED MOST. AT FIRST SHE WANTED TO PASS THIS EARTH, AND JUST BE LEFT ALONE. SHE NEARLY WENT INSANE MY FRIENDS, WITHOUT HER KNOWING WHY, UNTIL SHE LET THE URGE TAKE HER, TAKE HER DO OR DIE. BUT THERE COULD BE A LESSON HERE, THAT MAY BE USEFUL TOO. BUT WILL THE MUTE PASS ON THE CURSE SOMEONE MAYBE YOU AS YOU JUDGE HER FAMOUS EPISODES, THAT LED TO HER SURPRISE. THAT ALL THOSE BITES OF IN-DISCRETION, ON THOSE NECKS WERE GLOBAL WIDE. BUT THERE COULD BE A LESSON HERE, THAT MAY BE USEFUL TOO, OR WILL THE MUTE PASS ON THE CURSE, TO SOMEONE MAYBE YOU? OR WILL THIS MUTE PASS ON HER CURSE TO SOMEONE MAYBE YOU THE CURSE OF THE BITING MUTE

about

This is the soundtrack for my next new musical. The actors will be singing to this music as they tell the story of the biting mute's life story and the challenges she faces with her biting curse. This was inspired by the Mute in the musical The Fantastiks, and was developed to be performed for the Fresno Rogue Festival.
