Verse - 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.

Verse - Now there's blood in the waters, that I squeezed from this stone, here, And we
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.

Verse - Dove off the deep side platform, jack-knifed and bone dry, 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.
