Lyrics[edit | edit source]

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 that 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 passerby's
Feeling out of luck
When the traffic's stuck
And you're feeling so left behind

Getting off the 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?
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

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

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?

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?
