Tonedeff - Philosophy Heals The Soul lyrics

[Verse 1] I remember when life began, back on an outstretch of fears All the people I've known met and loved through my twenty-odd years The peers that put pressure; backstabbers and lesser types of human beings I was seein' I never thought I'd get old one day Or ever think that I would say, “Let the children play” But when the innocence is over, time will surely tell If love exists or the reality of livin' was still just a spell Swell were the days of adolescence The time we spent together felt like only twenty seconds But, I never knew how personalities changed And learned that pain was just a way to know that things never stay the same I guess it's hard to except the way life goes I figure that's why they say philosophy heals the soul [Verse 2] Positive influences were difficult to receive So I separate different folks for different needs I wish I knew then what I know now So I could separate which friends were true and which were foul Too many people never knew me from the outside What made them think that they could know me from the inside? But there's no doubt in my mind, that your mind is in time with mine A diamond's life is eternal, together we philosophize for the soul It's life and pain It's love and abstraction It's beauty and hate And vice-versa [Verse 3] Minutes make memories, and you only live once So you'd best to make your memories before the days and months do I've made to many mistakes but were they worth the time it took to mend the effects in the end? Now I take life slow, so that I don't make the same mistakes… Think careful and avoid the road of heartbreaks Cause those were tribulatin' times Rejected and neglected when I was wasn't writin' rhymes Too many judgments have been pa**ed down From the days of straight A's to when I was the cla** clown My first love in the summer of fantasy And seein' things that were too much for a man to see Being this figure so unsure I was glad to be But never let dark clouds ever badger me It's so uncanny how the world wants to pa** me by While I'm underminin' all these things that make me wonder why I want to reverse time ‘n go live in the past And prayin' that this time just wouldn't be like the last I always ask myself the same questions… Over and over, I find myself guessin' But, the puzzle seems to double when the answer's no I guess that's why they say philosophy heals the soul
