In Vein Lyrics by Alkaline Trio
Clean Lyric
Paragraph Lyric
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 interest 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
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 dryest floor
One broken ankle save my name
And this eraserburn I dig in deep, at every turn.
It keeps getting darker and the fear stays the same

I don't want to take this place in vein
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 interest 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   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 dryest floor   One broken ankle save my name   And this eraserburn I dig in deep, at every turn.   It keeps getting darker and the fear stays the same      I don't want to take this place in vein
