In Vein Lyrics - Agony & Irony - 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, whoa, oh, whoa, oh) 

You placed 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 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, whoa, oh, whoa, oh) 

You placed 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 vein 

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
