Artist: Alkaline Trio Album: Agony & Irony (2008) Title: In Vein
Lyrics In VeinMy 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 |
