Lyrics August Burns Red

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.
