Lyrics[]
If I could have my wasted days back
Would I use them to get back on track?
Stop to warm at karma's burning
Or look ahead, but keep on turning?
Do I have the strength
To know how I'll go?
Can I 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
You live it or lie it
(You live it or lie it)
(You live it or lie it)
My lifestyle determines my death style
My lifestyle determines my death style
Keep searching, keep on searching
This search goes on, this search goes on
Keep searching, keep on searching
This search goes on, this search goes on
Frantic, tick, tick, tick tock
Frantic, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick tock
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 tock of hurry
Do I have the strength
To know how I'll go?
Can I 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
You live it or lie it
(You live it or lie it)
(You live it or lie it)
My lifestyle determines my death style
My lifestyle determines my death style
Keep searching, keep on searching
This search goes on, this search goes on
Keep searching, yeah, I keep on searching
This search goes on, on and on
Frantic, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick tock
Frantic, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick tock
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 I find it inside
To deal with what I shouldn't know?
Do I have the strength
To know how I'll go?
Can I find it inside
To deal with what I shouldn't know?
My lifestyle (birth is pain)
Determines my death style
A rising tide (life is pain)
That pushes to the other side
My lifestyle (death is pain)
Determines my death style
A rising tide (it's all the same)
That pushes to the other side
Keep searching, keep on searching
This search goes on, on and on
I keep searching, keep on searching
This search goes on, on and on
Frantic, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick tock
Frantic, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick tock
Frantic, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick tock
Frantic, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick tock
