Carpe Diem Baby
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Hit dirt
Shake tree
Split sky
Part sea
Strip smile
Lose cool
Bleed the day
And break the rule
Live to win
Dare to fail
Eat the dirt
And bite the nail
Then make me miss you
Then make me miss you
So wash your face away with dirt
It don't feel good until it hurts
So take this world and shake it
Come squeeze and suck the day
Come carpe diem baby
Draw lead
Piss wine
Sink teeth
All mine
Stoke fire
Break neck
Suffer through this
Cheat on dead air
Hug the curve
Noose the time
Tear the map
And shoot the sign
Then make me miss you
Oh yeah
Then make me miss you
So wash your face away with dirt
It don't feel good until it hurts
So take this world and shake it
Come squeeze and suck the day
Come carpe diem baby
Yeah, suck it
Live to win
Dare to fail
Eat dirt
Bite the nail
Strip smile
Lose cool
Bleed the day
And break the rule
Under curve
Noose the time
Tear the map
And shoot the sign
Then make me miss you
Come on, come on
Then make me miss you
So wash your face away with dirt
It don't feel good until it hurts
So take this world and shake it
Come squeeze and suck the day
Come make me miss you
Come carpe diem baby
Come carpe diem baby
