In Vein

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 whoa, whoa whoa)
 You placed it on my face here again, and again
 (Whoa whoa, whoa whoa)
 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
 (Whoa whoa, whoa whoa)
 You placed it on my face here again, and again
 (Whoa whoa, whoa whoa)
 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 whoa, whoa whoa, oh
 Whoa whoa, whoa whoa, 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, no, I don't wanna take this place, no
 No, no, I don't wanna take this place, no
 Do you recognize this shape?
 It's the back of your hand
 (Whoa whoa, whoa whoa)
 You placed it on my face here again, and again
 (Whoa whoa, whoa whoa)
 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
