In an Instant

Carpe diem, seize the moment

Era fleeting keep on breathing

The fragility of life

Curve balls fall from out of the sky

And as you stare and ponder why

It accelerates then passes you by

If in an instant it turns south

Can't retract what flew out of your mouth

Do you give all

Grab life by the balls

Or bathe in fear

Voices you can't really hear

It comes testing of your will

Is your spirit made of steel

The fragility of time

There's no clear reason no sure rhyme

Although everything appears fine

It can drive the strongest

Out of their minds

And in an instant it turns south

Pinned to the mat and now you're out

Missed the boat with the red flag waving

Rhetoric seeped in and scathing

Sorry for always saying sorry

Way too much or never enough

Fist to the jaw and your knocked out

Although you're down, got to reborn

Do you give all

Grab life by the balls

Or drown in fear

Voices you can't really hear

It comes testing or your will

Is your spirit strong as steel

The fragility of life

It can change with the blink of an eye

And as you gaze and wounder why

It accelerates then passes you by

Don't let it pass you by

When in an instant it turns south

True to yourself you can't

Ever doubt yeah

Even if your head is spinning

Even if your head is reeling
