Title: Carpe Diem
Album: ¡Uno! (2012)

Lyrics:

Breaking in a sweat
Like a bomb threat
Is your silhouette fading out?
Nothing left to lose
Detonate the fuse
Another breaking news blowout

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, celebrate, celebrate

Carpe diem, a battle cry
Are we all too young to die?
Ask a reason and no reply
Are we all too young to die?

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

The blink of an eye
Barely scraping by
Dominated by passer by'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
Just make a change
Got a Broken wing
Hear the angels sing
With a signal that's out of range
Ain't it strange?
Ain't it strange?

Carpe diem, a battle cry
Are we all too young to die?
Ask a reason and no reply
Are we all too young to die?

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

[Solo]

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

[2x]
Carpe diem, a battle cry
Are we all too young to die?
Ask a reason and no reply
Are we all too young to die?
