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...
oh woah, oh woah, oh woah oh oh!
oh woah, oh woah, oh woah oh oh!

This is it boys, this is war,
What are we waiting for?
Why don't we break [bad word] 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 [bad word] 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,
Eeehh who am I? Mmmm...Mmmmm...

Well, 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... [bad word] on!)

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, [bad word] on. [bad word] on. [bad word] on, [bad word] ON!

Well, this 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 one is not for the folks at home;
Sorry to leave mom, I had to go,
Who the [bad word] wants to die alone
all dried up in the desert sun?

My heart is breaking for my sister
and the con that she call "love"!
But when I look into my nephew's eyes...
Man, you wouldn't believe
the most amazing things that [bad word] from...
Some terrible lies... ahhhh...

oh woah, oh woah, oh woah, oh oh...
oh woah, oh woah, oh woah, oh oh!

The other night, you wouldn't believe
the dream I just had about you and me...
I called you up, we'd both agree
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...
