Carpe Diem

I've thrown away all of my outside distractions I'm diving headfirst to chase a dream that I won't let go It's worthless, a waste of time This goal is out of reach, you better fall back in line This is what I need You are what I need I need motivation to prove you Wrong, and I will prove you wrong What makes you think that you are different? How can you chase these dreams? They've become a chore I know I'm close, I'm almost there Just a little more, and I will prevail Through what you call ignorance I will prevail Now I've chased this dream to do what I love and I wouldn't trade it for a thing Now I've chased this dream, and I made it out alive I wouldn't trade it for a thing I threw away what naysayers say, and started on a race that I had to win For myself And you proved me wrong, you proved me wrong All I've learned is teaching me more All I know is driving me on --- Carpe Diem - August Burns Red
