Focus Shift

I think I just forgot To pick up the shells From a 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 has spoken tonight I think I have lost my language Whatever I've 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 Drowned in the sounds So 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 think I have lost my language Whatever I've said I deny I think I have lost my way Whatever was missing is gone I let my focus shift 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 Drown the fury, swallow the fire I think I have lost my language Whatever I've said I deny I think I have lost my way Whatever was missing is gone I let my focus shift --- Focus Shift - Dark Tranquillity
