"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 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-oh whoa-oh. Whoa-oh whoa-oh)
You paste 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 vain

Dove off the deep side platform, jack-knifed and bone-dry, I hit 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-oh whoa-oh. Whoa-oh whoa-oh)
You paste 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 vain

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

Do you recognize this shape? It's the back of your hand
(Whoa-oh whoa-oh. Whoa-oh whoa-oh)
You paste 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 vain
