Lyrics

Vein In Vain

Oh God here it comes again

Another day going down

Just make it to tomorrow

Just make it to tomorrow

Vein in Vain

I'm going down slow

Vein in Vain

Like a needle on a record

Yeah we scratch along

Never saying forever

Love and life on a string

Vein in vain

Going down slow

Going down slow

Vein in Vain

Didn't mean to let you down

Didn't mean to let you down again

The body will always win

Yeah the body always wins

There's a hole in my heart

And it's filled with regret

So we settle for shadows

Shadows and silhouettes

Vein in Vain

Going down slow

Vein in Vain in Vain

Going down slow Vein in Vain
