Alkaline Trio In Vein Lyrics

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

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



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
