[Verse 1]
Empty bags and a cigarette
As I'm dancing around alone
Sun'll rise in a little bit, yeah
Won't let anyone see me like this
That's why I keep my curtains closed
So sick of their opinions
[Pre-Chorus]
But I can only wonder
Dare I sleep tonight?
Judge me in the morning
If I'm still alive
Guided by thunder
Until I see the light
If I see you in the morning
You can tell me I'm an idiot
[Chorus]
I'm an idiot, yeah, I'm an idiot
I'm an idiot, tell me I'm an idiot
I'm an idiot, yeah, I'm an idiot
I'm an idiot, tell me I'm an idiot
[Post-Chorus]
But I can only wonder
Dare I sleep tonight?
Judge me in the morning
If I'm still alive
Yeah
[Verse 2]
This room is my dominion
A king with no one to conquer
A ghost in his chariot, uh
And if I ride into oblivion
And the world would be a little smaller

[Pre-Chorus]
And I can only wonder
Dare I sleep tonight?
Judge me in the morning
If I'm still alive
Guided by thunder
Until I see the light
If I see you in the morning
You can tell me I'm an idiot
[Chorus]
I'm an idiot, yeah, I'm an idiot
I'm an idiot, tell me I'm an idiot
I'm an idiot, yeah, I'm an idiot
I'm an idiot, tell me I'm an idiot
[Post-Chorus]
And I can only wonder
Dare I sleep tonight?
Judge me in the morning
If I'm still alive
