In Vein Lyrics & Chords By Alkaline Trio

My point of reference makes me afraid to begin convincing
But you might as well just change your name
Because 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
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
You paste it on my face here again and again
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
You paste it on my face here again and again
And I don't wanna be the one who takes this place in vein
