Frantic

If I could have my wasted days back
Would I use them to get back on track?
Stop to warm at karmas burning
Or look ahead, but keep on turning?
Do I have the strength
To know how I'll go?
Can find it inside
To deal with what I shouldn't know?
Could I have my wasted days back
Would I use them to get back on track?
You live it or lie it!
My lifestyle determines my death style
Keep searching, keep on searching
This search goes on, this search goes on
Frantic tick tick tick tick tick tock
Frantic tick tick tick tick tick tock
I've worn out always being afraid
An endless stream of fear that I've made
Treading water full of worry
This frantic tick tick talk of hurry
Do I have the strength
To know how I'll go?
Can find it inside
To deal with what I shouldn't know?
Worn out always being afraid
An endless stream of fear that I've made
You live it or lie it!
My lifestyle determines my death style
Keep searching, keep on searching
This search goes on, this search goes on
Frantic tick tick tick tick tick tock
Frantic tick tick tick tick tick tock
Do I have the strength
To know how I'll go?
Can find it inside
To deal with what I shouldn't know?
My lifestyle (birth is pain)
Determines my death style (life is pain)
A rising tide (death is pain)
That pushes to the other side (it's all the same)
Keep searching, keep on searching
This search goes on, this search goes on
Frantic tick tick tick tick tick tock
Frantic tick tick tick tick tick tock
