We build empires of our downfalls   And monuments of our flaws   And we tell ourselves it’s just a means to an end   But where’s the end to this means   And when can we trade in our day jobs and move on to our dreams      And I’d stay up all night   And I'd stay up all night   And I'd stay up all night   Just to find something worth staying up all night for   Just to find something worth staying up all night for      We build mountains of our madness   And factions of our passions   And even entropy will see them fall apart sometimes   ‘Cause it takes more to make something real   Than obscurity in the things you steal   And I’ll spend my whole life looking for those lines   So now that life’s become a series   of ink blots on receipt backs   And the censors in me delete months at a time   And the consequence of honesty   Resulting in obscurity   Looks better than an end result   Built of false intent and lies      And I’d stay up all night   And I'd stay up all night   And I'd stay up all night   Just to find something worth staying up all night for   Just to find something worth staying up all night for
