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. (Whoaoh whoaoh x2)



You placed it on my face here again, and again, yeah. (Whoaoh whoaoh x2)



And I don't wanna be the one who takes this place in vein.

Dove off the deep side platform, jackknifed 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. (Whoaoh whoaoh x2)



You placed it on my face here again, and again, yeah. (Whoaoh whoaoh 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.

(Whoaoh whoaoh, Whoaoh whoaoh 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.



Nooh, nooh. I don't wanna take this place, no.



Nooh, nooh. I don't wanna take this place, no.

You recognize this shape, it's the back of your hand. (Whoaoh whoaoh x2)



You placed it on my face here again, and again, yeah. (Whoaoh whoaoh 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.
