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

So Lord, I'm still not sure what I stand for
What do I stand for? What do I stand for?
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

Oh, who am I? Oh, who am I?

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
So Lord, I still don't know what I stand for

What do I stand for? What do I stand for?
Most nights, I don't know


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, 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 heck 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
Some terrible nights


Most nights I don't know any more...
