Carpe Diem - August Burns Red

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

All I’ve learned is teaching me more.

All I know is driving me on
