Carpe Diem

Breaking in a sweat Like a bomb threat
Is your silhouette fading out?
Nothing left to lose Detonate the fuse
Another breaking news blowout

Ain't it beautiful? So unusual
Life's a gas and it's running out
Living a cliche Gonna seize the day
Bottle rockets and celebrate, celebrate, celebrate

Carpe diem, a battle cry Are we all too young to die?
Ask a reason and no reply Are we all too young to die?
Making a living Making a killing
What's worth forgiving? Alright

The blink of an eye Barely scraping by
Dominated by passer by's
Feeling out of luck When the traffic's stuck
And you're feeling So left behind

Getting off a binge Get a second wind
Another promise Just make a change
Got a Broken wing Hear the angels sing
With a signal that's out of range

Ain't it strange? Ain't it strange?

Carpe diem, a battle cry Are we all too young to die?
Ask a reason and no reply Are we all too young to die?
Making a living Making a killing
What's worth forgiving? Alright

[Solo]

Making a living Making a killing
What's worth forgiving? Alright

Carpe diem, a battle cry Are we all too young to die?
Ask a reason and no reply Are we all too young to die?
Carpe diem, a battle cry Are we all too young to die?
Ask a reason and no reply Are we all too young to die?
