I've walked on roads that would dead-end
They don't all go to Rome, that's a lie too
But which route should I choose without a treasure map
If I don't walk fast enough the day is over
A couple hours pass when I do nothing
My life's a riddle when I'm looking for clues
All those questions I hear when it gets quiet
I have no answer for them and no comeback
So I'd rather keep working till I collapse
'Cause I only hear voices when it gets quiet
So I just act like I hear nothing
And I keep working till I collapse
Work till I collapse, work till I collapse
'Cause I only hear voices when it gets quiet
So I just act like I hear nothing
That's why I'd rather keep working till I collapse
I don't know about my bumps and pitfalls
I only know I wanna fight with clenched fists
Even if my heart has to cry, I keep smiling outside
Sometimes I've got no straight course, I'm sailing with doubt
But luckily every night there's a safe harbor
And strong shoulders at my back that'll carry me
And I'll do whatever it takes to pay the price
So I'd rather keep working till I collapse
'Cause all those voices go wild when I sit still
So I keep that engine running now at full throttle
As long as I'm speaking I can shut them up
And they want us to fall, but we're climbing up
I get no rest for my body, my head's never quiet
Even when it's dark around me, I see the light in my dreams
So I'd rather keep working till I collapse, work till I collapse
'Cause I only hear voices when it gets quiet
So I just act like I hear nothing
And I keep working till I collapse
Work till I collapse, work till I collapse
'Cause I only hear voices when it gets quiet
So I just act like I hear nothing
And I keep working till I collapse
Work till I collapse, work till I collapse
'Cause I only hear voices when it gets quiet
So I just act like I hear nothing
'Cause I only hear voices
That's why I'd rather keep working
'Cause I only hear voices
That's why I'd rather keep working
'Cause I only hear voices in my head
They keep poking at that bubble full of dreams
I don't wanna get used to it, don't make those things normal
And for the voices, for the silence I'm deaf
So I'd rather keep working till I collapse, work till I collapse
'Cause I only hear voices when it gets quiet
So I just act like I hear nothing
And I keep working till I collapse
Work till I collapse, work till I collapse
'Cause I only hear voices when it gets quiet
So I just act like I hear nothing
'Cause I only hear voices
'Cause I only hear voices
