Focus Shift (Live in Milan 2008)

Focus Shift - Dark Tranquillity

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

A nothing that favours the few

In the darkness electric we see

Of the silence that's 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 sound so lost in the order

It's an understated word the un-breaking 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

An attempt to find 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
