DARK TRANQUILLITY LYRICS
"Focus Shift" (2007 EP)
1. Focus Shift
2. Terminus (Where Death Is Most Alive)
1. 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
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
2. Terminus (Where Death Is Most Alive)
This is a ghost town
We lie on the edges of failure's fled
Lead on by shining faces, levelling extremes
What used to be, our humility is gone
Walk around, with skull and bones
We're living just to die
I see more moments indict of decision
The windows are our lights
It is the only place I know, where death is most alive
It is where truth is turned to lie, where death is most alive
Set flame to the ensnarers, we'll pierce their wooden shield
Branded by what claims you
You wear the mark of death
In death and loss and agony, a character defined
Stripped of all the tragedy
What life is left to fight
Go now, until there's nothing left
Go now, the dying has begun
It is the only place I know, where death is most alive
It is where truth is turned to lie, where death is most alive
So I flee from all that is me
To hide behind this pale, dead face
Whatever happened to desire, want and need
Whatever happened to integrity
Imagination is a cause in all of this
Whatever happened was left behind
This is a ghost town
Our bodies scattered in the streets
Go now, to never return
I've seen more pitiful humiliation
That you could never hide
It is the only place I know, where death is most alive
It is where truth is turned to lie, where death is most alive
