Carpe Diem Lyrics

August Burns Red Carpe Diem

I've thrown away all of my outside distractions.
I'm diving headfirst to chase a dream that I won't let go.

"It's worthless- a waste of time. This goal is out of reach. You better
Fall back in line."

This is what I need. You are what I need. I need motivation to prove you
Wrong, and I will prove you wrong.

"What makes you think that you are different? How can you chase these
Dreams? They've become a chore."

I know I'm close. I'm almost there. Just a little more, and I will prevail
Through what you call "ignorance."
I will prevail.

Now I've chased this dream to do what I love, and I wouldn't trade it for a
Thing.
Now I've chased this dream, and I made it out alive.
I wouldn't trade it for a thing.
I threw away what naysayers say, and started on a race that I had to win
For myself.

"And you proved me wrong, you proved me wrong."

All I've learned is teaching me more.
All I know is driving me on.
