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 heart bleeds from this stone here,
And we turned into our cheap wine.
And I swallowed every drop, yes, I could feel my stomach rot,
And you were so supportive as I drank through the pain.

You recognize this shape, it's the back of your hand.
(Whoa-oh whoa-oh, whoa-oh whoa-oh)
You've placed it on my face here again, and again, yeah.
(Whoa-oh whoa-oh, whoa-oh whoa-oh)
And I don't wanna be the one who takes this place in vein.

Dove off the deep side platform, jack-knifed a bone dry floor.
One broken ankle save my name.
And this eraser burn, I dig in deep at every turn.
It keeps getting darker and the fear stays the same.

You recognize this shape, it's the back of your hand.
(Whoa-oh whoa-oh, whoa-oh whoa-oh)
You've placed it on my face here again, and again, yeah.
(Whoa-oh whoa-oh, whoa-oh whoa-oh)
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 vein- Vein!

Whoa-oh whoa-oh
Whoa-oh whoa-oh, oh
Whoa-oh whoa-oh
Whoa-oh whoa-oh, 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-oh, no-oh. I don't wanna take this place, no.
No-oh, whoa-oh. I don't wanna take this place, no.

You recognize this shape, it's the back of your hand.
(Whoa-oh whoa-oh, whoa-oh whoa-oh)
You've placed it on my face here again, and again, yeah.
(Whoa-oh whoa-oh, whoa-oh whoa-oh)
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 vein.
