--------------------------------------oOOo-(_)-oOOo--------------------------------by Alex
Some  nights I stay up cashing  in my bad  luck.
Some  nights I call  it a draw.
Some  nights I wish that my lips  could build a castle.
Some  nights I wish  they'd just fall  off
 But I still  wake up,  I still see  your ghost.
 Oh Lord, I'm still  not sure  what I stand  for, oh.
What  do I stand  for? What  do I stand  for?
 (  x2)
 Most nights, I don't know anymore
This  is it, boys. This  is war.
What  are we waiting  for?
Why  don't we break  the rules already?
 I was never  one to believe  the hype.
Save  that for the black  and white.
 I try twice  as hard and I'm half  as liked,
 But here  they come again to jack my style
 And that's alright
 I found a martyr  in my bed  tonight.
 She stops  my bones from wondering
 Just who  I am, who I am, who I am.
 Yeah, oh who am  I  mmmm  mmmmm
Some  nights I wish  that this all  would end
 'Cause I  could use some friends  for a change.
 And some  nights I'm  scared you'll forget  me again.
 Some nights,  I always win  (I always  win)
 But I still  wake  up, I still  see your ghost.
 Oh Lord, I still  don't know  what I stand  for, oh.
 What do  I stand  for? What do  I stand  for?
Most  nights, I don't know
So  this is it? I  sold my soul for this?
Washed  my hands of that for this?
 I miss my mom and dad for this?
No.  When I see stars, when i see  stars, that's all they are.
 When I hear  songs, they sound like a swan.
 So come on.  Oh, come on.  Oh, come on.  Oh, come on!
That  is it, guys, that  is all.
Five  minutes in and I'm  bored again.
Ten  years of this, and I'm not sure  if anybody  understands.
This  is not one for the folks  back home.
I'm  sorry to leave, Mom, I had  to go.
Who  the fuck wants to die  alone all dried  up in the desert sun?
 My heart is breaking  for my sister
 And the con  that she called love.
 But when I look  into my nephew's eyes,
Man,  you wouldn't believe
The  most amazing things that can come from.
  (  x4 and through ending)
 Some terrible nights.
 ie)
The  other night, you wouldn't  believe the dream  I just had about  you and me
I  called you up,  but we'd both  agree
It's  for the best  you didn't listen
It's  for the  best we get our distance.
 take it home!
