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 like a superhero with nobody's best interests in mind.
|
|
Now there's blood in the waters, 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.
|
|
You recognize this shape, it's the back of your hand. (Whoa-oh whoa-oh [x2])
|
You placed it on my face here again, and again, yeah. (Whoa-oh whoa-oh [x2])
|
And I don't wanna be the one who takes this place in vein.
|
|
Dove off the deep side platform, jack-knifed and bone dry, I hit 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.
|
|
You recognize this shape, it's the back of your hand. (Whoa-oh whoa-oh [x2])
|
You placed it on my face here again, and again, yeah. (Whoa-oh whoa-oh [x2])
|
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 [x2])
|
|
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 [x2])
|
You placed it on my face here again, and again, yeah. (Whoa-oh whoa-oh [x2])
|
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.
