Focus Shift

I think I just forgot
 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 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
 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 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
