ROSE-COLORED GLASSES
“When you think about a show that you used to watch as a kid or as a teenager, you look at it through sort of rose-colored glasses…”Jordana Brewster

In memory’s soft glow, 
the TV screen flickers alive,
time stretches like taffy,
the theme song lingers, a melody 
transporting me through the portal of childhood.

The laughter of a

I like it when you place me
Up above on a pedestal 
I like how you say my name
Even my nickname with love

I like how you chase me
With persistence until I catch you 
And flood your face 
With lacy licorice kisses

I like your gentle voice 
When you ask why I 
Haven’t called at all 
That days

Truth isnt what you think today

truth will be true tomorrow too

Truth isnt just what you feel

Its what happened, the facts, the data...

Interpreted truth is our own reality..

Our "rose colored glasses" on life

Psychiatry calls it our "filter" that we interpret the world through...

I dont know how to explain the truth in any simpler terms

To those that

I wake at the ascension of a golden dawn
to meditate on early morning's mystique
To the amber shoreline, I'm always drawn
It's serenity and tranquility that I seek

How calm the lake's water without a ripple
On a sheet of glass, is my mirrored reflection
I seek its tranquil comfort as a babe, a nipple
To me, this is a moment

Got some rose-colored glasses
And they’re messing with my brain.
I’m not sure things are clearer
Or if I have gone insane.
I had thought I understood the world
And that I could trust my eyes
But I’m looking through these lenses
And I fear I’m seeing lies.

Got some rose-colored glasses
To correct what I perceive.
‘Cause for my entire life
I’m told I have

quixotic dreamer
constructing silver windmills
when she looks at him

rose colored glasses
optimistic attitude
giving them a chance

forever unite
a starry eyed realist
rebel who needs love

ROSE COLORED GLASSES

Everything crimson
Through my eyes everything red
Demons dancing in my head
Mars is blue Saturn red
Cut the body of an oyster it bleeds blue blood
Such an make believers' disaster
This is from mine imagination
It's what I see in my rose colored glasses

We put on rose-colored glasses,
that blur reality's vision.
And block out any wrongs we see,
ignoring the plight of the poor.

To disguise life's uglier side,
we put on rose-colored glasses.
And focus our sight straight ahead,
cheerfully wearing our blinders.

Tinted with alternative truths
that we so much want to believe.
We put on rose-colored glasses
to camouflage anguish and tears.

Seeing the world through

Rose-Colored Glasses

When I wear my rose-colored glasses
  I see lovely pink grasses
  and the sky is pale pink
  not grey.

I get lost in romantic dreams
  of secret schemes
  and I spread my pink wings and sail away.

My heart beats faster
  and my head spins
  in a rosy world

Rose Colored Glasses

I bought you some rose colored glasses,
Because you were feeling so blue.
I thought that these rose colored glasses
Would make you feel as good as new.

If you see the world without color,
Things look very dreary and sad.
Maybe these rose colored glasses 
Will add color and make you feel glad.

When you feel sad and downhearted, 
Remember God

Rose Colored Glasses

My heart was blackened and hardened by pain and misery
You shined your light upon my soul, it softened me completely
My walls they fell, I walked out of hell, my heart began swell  
What force, what power, what energy could this be
For I'm a man of sorrow who's face you lit up with glee
I now

I am a prisoner of memories from the past,
Flashbacks without warning of a marriage that did not last.
Through rose colored glasses, I see a love now scattered to the wind,
But in reality he had ceased to be a husband, a lover, or even a friend.

Memories lie and make you think your life together was ideal,
They

Rose Colored Glasses

I see you through rose colored glasses 
And that's why I give you so many passes 
I don't see any of your imperfections or flaws 
The person I see puts me in such awe 

I see you as absolute pure perfection 
And I know it's just my heart's perception 
But sometimes the heart sees what

Rose Colored Glasses

Wishing life was different like I lived between the lines; not so predictable free to flow with time. My mind steadily at unrest won't let me see the best in you, in me. All I long for is to be free, like flying high, not even in, but passed the sky! If I could see
