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
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, 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

But I still wake up, I still see your ghost

Oh 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...


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.


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 $#&@ 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.

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...
