Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hit dirt
Shake tree
Split sky
Part sea
[Verse 2]
Strip smile
Lose cool
Bleed the day
And break the rule
[Verse 3]
Live, win
Dare, fail
Eat the dirt
And bite the nail
[Verse 4]
Then make me miss you
Then make me miss you
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
Draw lead
Piss wine
Sink teeth
All mine
[Verse 7]
Stoke fire
Break neck
Suffer through this
Cheat on death
[Verse 8]
Hug the curve
Lose the time
Tear the map
And shoot the sign
[Verse 9]
Then make me miss you
Then make me miss you
[Verse 10]
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
[Verse 11]
Live, win
Dare, fail
Eat dirt
Bite the nail
[Verse 12]
Strip smile
Lose cool
Bleed the day
And break the rule
[Verse 13]
Hug the curve
Lose the time
Tear the map
And shoot the sign
[Verse 14]
Then make me miss you
Come on, come on, then make me miss you
[Verse 15]
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
