サム・ナイツ

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?
Most nights I don't know anymore

This is it, boy, 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
Try twice as hard and I'm half as liked
But they come again to jack my style
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

Who am I? Mmm, mmm, yeah

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'm still not sure 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
When I see stars, that's all they are
When I hear songs, they sound like this one
So come on, oh come on, oh come on, oh come on

Well, that is it, guys, that is all
Five minutes in and I'm bored again
Ten years of this, I'm not sure anybody understands
This one is not for the folks at home
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 calls love
And then I look into my nephew's eyes

Man, you wouldn't believe the most amazing things
That can come from some terrible lie

The other night you wouldn't believe
The dream I just had about you and me
I called you up and we both agreed
It's for the best you didn't listen
It's for the best we get our distance, oh
It's for the best you didn't listen
It's for the best we get our distance, oh
