Dark Tranquillity - Focus Shift [Live] Lyrics

Focus shift

I think I just forgot
To pick up the shells
From a recent discharge
You took all the blame

Explanations falter
To ears fallen deaf
Whatever was missing is lost

A reference to something that both of us knew
A nothing that favors the few
In the darkness electric we see
Of the silence that speak 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

Your face is a map I fail to discover
Drowned in the sound, so lost in the order
The look that stayed my words, the unblinking knowledge
Interlocked and holding, a stalemate to break

I 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 sleight of hand
That leads to rejection
Tempted by the closure
With no sense of pride

Drown the fury and swallow the fire
Drown the fury and 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
