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 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 deathstyle! My lifestyle determines my deathstyle! 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, 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 goes 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? I’ve worn out always being afraid, 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 deathstyle! My lifestyle determines my deathstyle! Keep searching, keep on searching, this search goes on, this search goes on. Keep searching, keep on searching, this search goes on, on and on. 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? Birth is pain, life is pain, death is pain, it's all the same. My lifestyle determines my deathstyle, a rising tide that pushes to the other side. My lifestyle determines my deathstyle, a rising tide that pushes to the other side. Keep searching, keep on searching, this search goes on, on and on. Keep searching, keep on searching, this search goes on, on and on. Frantic tick tick tick tick tick tock...
