    Lyrics
    Breaking in a sweat like a bomb threat
    Is your silhouette fading out
    Nothing left to lose, detonate the fuse
    Another break in this blow out

    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

    Carpe diem a battle cry
    Aren't we all too young to die?
    Ask a reason and no reply
    Aren't we all too young to die?

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

    A blink of an eye barely scraping by
    Dominated by passerby’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 to make a change
    Got a broken wing hear the angels sing
    When the signal is out of range
    Ain't it strange

    Carpe diem a battle cry
    Aren't we all too young to die?
    Ask a reason and no reply
    Aren't we all too young to die?

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

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

    Carpe diem a battle cry
    Aren't we all too young to die?
    Ask a reason and no reply
    Aren't we all too young to die?
