Impersonating a Firefighter - Mute Forest

We would swim in circles until it became dark

I had command in your presence

Casting long great shadows

Covering you

Dip you in the water until you vanish

If I send for the specter of the old days

Is that enough to keep you captive

You distract me

Or do I tell myself you distract me as an excuse

For a moment

I drift

What was it you said lies beyond these trees

The cinders of your old life

And I counter with a melody I sing for you

If I send for the specter of the old days

Is that enough to keep you captive

With the mountains being pitched into the darkness

Your features fade into the gloaming
