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 and 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...

So come on

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 go 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
Oh, who am I?
Who am I?
Who am I?

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

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
That can come from

Some terrible nights
Some terrible nights

It's for the best you didn't listen
It's for the best we get our distance
