carpe diem

You can have it all
The joy and the splendor
Whatever you want as long as you surrender
What's left of yourself
Personal debris
Self-sacrifice to the highest degree

Keep telling yourself
Isn't this what you asked for
No one to blame and no one to keep score
It's all in your hands
Feeble as they may seem
But your shoulders are strong
The weight of the world they will keep

If someone had told you
You wouldn't believe them
It is what it is, baby
Carpe Diem
Carpe Diem

All of the songs that you've written about running away
Seem childish and naive now
Wouldn't ya say
I've been doing my best to seize a new day
But everything that I love is so far away

There's no going back now
This is the new normal
Put on a brave face but who's it adorned for
Everyone else sees right through the mask
It shatters like glass when it cracks

If someone had told you
You wouldn't believe them
It is what it is, baby
Carpe Diem
Carpe Diem

Isn't this what you always wanted
Isn't this what you always wanted
Isn't this what you always wanted
Isn't this what you always wanted
