Frantic

The chaotic opener from *St. Anger*, 2003

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?

Chorus

Do I have the strength
To know how I'll go?
Can I find it inside
To deal with what I shouldn't know?

Verse 2

Could it be I'm a fool again?
Fell for the drop, now low again
Though I'm hoping wide awake
That what I got's alive

Bridge

Frantic tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tock
Frantic tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tock

Chorus

I've worn out always being afraid
An endless stream of fear that I've made
Treading water, I keep from sinking
I'm not good at competing

Outro

Frantic tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tock
Frantic tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tock
