about

A Carpe Noctem exclusive, however an alternate acoustic version does exist on as a bonus track on the digital deluxe version of Carpe Diem.

lyrics

I was raised by peace and quiet
In a bed of bluegrass neath the stars
I made friends my family, and family my friends
And dreamed I’d show them off by going far
I grew up in the smallest little town
But every time I’d look around
I'd see that empathy is a dying art
And it brings me down
So pick up your feet
Adjust all your sails
Full steam ahead
To something you really felt
Just run…
Pretend that you’re free and run…

We’re all just sisters and brothers
Once you step into the light
Thank God for technicolor
Cause I can’t see black and white

Some people believe in money
Some people believe in drugs
Some people believe in religion
Some people believe in love
Some people believe everything
Some people believe in lies
Me? I don't guess I believe in anything
I'm just trying to get by

So take off your hat
And let down your hair
When you finally see that horizon
Don’t just stop and stare
Just run…
Pretend you’re in love and run…
