Lyrics In Vein - Alkaline Trio

In Vein

My point of reference makes me afraid to begin convincing\nBut you might as well just change your name\n'Cause I only recognize this shadow, kind of like a superhero\nWith nobody’s best interests in mind\nNow there’s blood in the water that I squeezed from this stone here\nAnd we turned into our cheap wine\nI swallowed every drop, yes I could feel my stomach rotting\nYou were so supportive as I drank through the pain\nDo you recognize this shape, it’s the back of your hand\nYou paste it on my face here again and again\nAnd I don’t wanna be the one who takes this place\nIn vein\nDove off the deep side platform, jackknife to bone driest floor\nOne broken ankle saved my name\nAnd this eraser burn, I dig in deep at every turn\nIt keeps getting darker and the fear stays the same\nDo you recognize this shape, it’s the back of your hand\nYou paste it on my face here again and again\nAnd I don’t wanna be the one who takes this place\nIn vein
