Focus Shift — Dark Tranquility

I think I just forget To pick up the shells From my recent discharge And you took the blame Explanations falter To ears fallen deaf Wherever I go I get lost

A reference to something That both of us knew Nothing that favors the few In the darkness electric we see That silence had spoken tonight

I think I have lost my language Whatever I said I deny I think I have lost my way Whatever was missing is gone I let my focus shift

Your face is a map I fail to discover Drowning the sounds Lost in the order It's the look that stayed my words The unblinking knowledge Interlocked and holding No stalemate to break Take hold of the flame that unites In the silence that speaks to me now

I struggle to find the words That negate my meaning I fail to comprehend What message is given

I decline the steady hand That leads to rejection Tempted by the closure With no sense of pride Drown the fury and swallow the fire
