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
