Some Nights

Some nights I wait 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
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 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
Twice as hard but I'm half as liked
Here they come again to jack my style.

That's alright (That's alright)
I found a martyr in my bed tonight
Stops my bones from wondering
Just who I, who I, who I am
Oh, who am I?

Some nights I wish that this all would end
So I could use some friends for a change
Some nights I'm scared you'll forget me again
Some nights I always win (I always win)

But I still wake up, still see your ghost
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.

My heart is breaking for my sister
And the con that she called love
And I look into my nephew's eyes
Man, you wouldn't believe
The most amazing thing
That can come from
Some terrible nights.

I don't know, I don't know
Most nights, I don't know
Anymore.
