Lyrics

The Philosopher

Under the weight

How you make me feel

Recognized in the new disguises

I need more time to deal

Between imagined and real

Waves in silence

Whatever you are thinking

Save the violence

Whatever you are dreaming

Falling away

Don't let appearances fool you

There's no logical harm done

With only one to rule you

Life but how to live it

Waves in silence

Whatever you are thinking

Save the violence

Whatever you are dreaming, feeling

Safe from a distance

Safe for an instant

For an instant

Waves in silence

Whatever you are thinking

Save the violence

Whatever you are dreaming, feeling

Dreaming, feeling
