In Vein
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
(Whoa whoa, whoa whoa)
You placed it on my face here again, and again
(Whoa whoa, whoa whoa)
And I don't wanna be the one who takes this place in vein
Dove off the deep side platform
Jackknife to bone driest 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
(Whoa whoa, whoa whoa)
You placed it on my face here again, and again
(Whoa whoa, whoa whoa)
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
Whoa whoa, whoa whoa, oh
Whoa whoa, whoa whoa, 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, no, I don't wanna take this place, no
Do you recognize this shape?
It's the back of your hand
(Whoa whoa, whoa whoa)
You placed it on my face here again, and again
(Whoa whoa, whoa whoa)
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
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?

Don't wanna be the one who takes
I don't wanna be the one who takes this place in vein

Don't wanna be the one who takes
I don't wanna be the one who takes this place in vein
