Timothy Venard (November 29th 1995 / Lewes)
Why Carpediem
Carpediem
It means seize the day;
Try and enjoy life
The sky’s not that grey.
Easy for them to say
They have Don’t have it bad
They don’t know how you feel
And it drive you mad
They can seize the day
If they bloody want it
But in this day and age
The day ain’t worth my spit
Your life maybe be hell
And it turns you insane
Carpediem
A phrase for the mundane
So why should I Carpediem
Should I conform and live life for them
I take my dignity
That’s my Carpediem
