In Vein - Alkaline Trio
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
Kinda blackened 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 x2)
You placed it on my face here again and again yeah (Whoa-oh whoa-oh x2)
And I don't wanna be the one who takes this place in vein
Dove off that east 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 x2)
You placed it on my face here again and again yeah (Whoa-oh whoa-oh x2)
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-oh whoa-oh Whoa-oh whoa-oh oh x2)
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 no-oh I don't wanna take this place no
You recognize this shape it's the back of your hand (Whoa-oh whoa-oh x2)
You placed it on my face here again and again yeah (Whoa-oh whoa-oh x2)
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
