Stranger facing me Spectre of yesteryear When I stare into the mirror, you are always there Haunting appearance, of a world turned fray Nothing can hold back the signs of time Before you know it, you're past your prime Carpe diem Seize the day Carpe diem Come what may Useless to cry, on what should have been Tomorrow is far, yesterday is a dream Discard away the guilt that weighs on your heart You can't bring together what was meant to be apart In a world of blind leading the blind Stop being a slave tied to the grind Carpe diem Seize the day Carpe diem Come what may Carpe diem My own way Carpe diem Live for today
