Alkaline Trio - In Vein lyrics
[Alkaline Trio - In Vein lyrics]
My point of reference makes me
Afraid to begin convincing
But, you might as well just change your name
'Cause, I only recognize this shadow
Kind of like a superhero
With nobody's best interests in mind
Now there's blood in the water that
I squeezed from this stone here
And we turned into our cheap wine
And I swallowed every drop, yes
I could feel my stomach rotting
You were so supportive as I
Drank through the pain
Do you recognize this shape? It's
The back of your hand
(Woah, woah, woah, woah)
You paste it on my face here again and again
(Woah, woah, woah, woah)
And I don't wanna be the one
Who takes this place in vain
Dove off the deep side platform
Jackknife to bone-dry floor
One broken ankle saved my name
And this eraser burn
I dig in deep at every turn
It keeps getting darker and the
Fear stays the same
Do you recognize this shape? It's
The back of your hand
(Woah, woah, woah, woah)
You paste it on my face here again and again
(Woah, woah, woah, woah)
And I don't wanna be the
One who takes this place
Don't wanna be the one who takes
I don't wanna be the one who
Takes this place in vain
Woah, woah woah, woah, oh
Woah, woah woah, woah, oh
I don't wanna take
I don't wanna take this place, no
I don't want to take
I don't wanna take this place, no no, no
I don't wanna take this place, no no, woah
I don't wanna take this place, oh woah
Do you recognize this shape? It's
The back of your hand
(Woah, woah, woah, woah)
You paste it on my face here again and again
(Woah, woah, woah, woah)
And I don't wanna be the
One who takes this place
Don't wanna be the one who takes
I don't wanna be the one who
Takes this place in vain
Afraid to begin convincing
But, you might as well just change your name
'Cause, I only recognize this shadow
Kind of like a superhero
With nobody's best interests in mind
Now there's blood in the water that
I squeezed from this stone here
And we turned into our cheap wine
And I swallowed every drop, yes

You were so supportive as I
Drank through the pain
