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
