Verse 1)
The opposite of an optimist
Every other days the Apocalypse
My pockets got nothin but pocket lint
Self conscious not self confident
I got all sorts of disorders
But I don't got the moral supporters
At war with depression and the stress I'm a mess now I guess I'ma just go hoard in my quarters
Heart break led to a dark state a rock and a hard place that's where I stay but I'm hardly
Comfortable I don't run the show I'm a minnow that's been dropped in a shark tank
I'm back on the cigarettes again
Hackin up spitting out the phlegm
Honest though man I can't promise that I won't go back to malt liquor in a can
I miss the way Jack D had me I know that it's sad
But it makes me happy
Running from my hurdles like I made the track team
Gave a fuck about the burdens they could take a backseat
Self doubt still ridin shotgun
Inner peace just might not come
I was told hope is a dangerous drug no thanks nah uh I don't want none
I quit that rather take a pill like a tic tac
Than think about the way that my life took a zig zag
Nobody wanna stop and smell a rose in the shit bag
Dwelling on a chance that you'll never get back
Me and positivity a mismatch, never be together anyway in any fashion
I don't want to say that I'm a killjoy dammit
but I never see my world through some rose colored glasses

Refrain and hook)
Oh Ohh I wanna find faith again
Tryin to get away from the place I'm in
To a field of dreams from a lake of sin
But it's hard cause my patience is paper thin x2

If I could see the world through some rose colored glasses (rose colored glasses, rose colored glasses
I never seen the world through no rose colored glasses (rose colored glasses, rose colored glasses

Verse 2)
What's hope to a person that's broke
Or the guy that's told that his life is a joke
What's optimism if you're in the hospital
Knowing that disease that you got is inoperable
kinda fucked up that I feel this way
Like poor me heal this pain
Actin like I don't got shelter or I can't get three square meals in a day
I'm trying to do my best to improve my nest
Till I'm losing breath
Lost friends lost faith lost sight lost hope and I wonder what I'm losing next
I got everything to gain to make it worth the embarrassment and shame that's inherent with my name
Carrying the weight of my merit and my stake
I Should let the dreams die and then bury the remains
accept the fact this as good as it gets
Hope lives in a zone where I couldn't exist
Cause I'm way too critical, way too cynical
Worst of all I might be way too forgettable
Damn, so yeah, My recordings are morbid
The thought of forfeit starts to look fuckin gorgeous
times getting shorter and I just can't afford it
Shoulda ran on a straight track like a Nordic
(I,I,I…..)
Identify with the pessimists
Sigh with the desolate
Set a bar but never measured high as the measurement
Try to stretch for it I would die for what it represents
Feeling satisfied in the present tense
All I ever wanted was a glass half full
I think somebody's pouring mine out, who's the asshole
Put faith on a mantle and start pretending
That I can see my future through different colored lenses…..

Refrain and Hook)
Oh Ohh I wanna find faith again
Tryin to get away from the place I'm in
To a field of dreams from a lake of sin
But it's hard cause my patience is paper thin x2

If I could see the world through some rose colored glasses (rose colored glasses, rose colored glasses
I never seen the world through no rose colored glasses (rose colored glasses, rose colored glasses

Verse 3)
My frames been broke and my lenses cracked
I tried and I tried I was bending backwards
zen relaxer but every last nerve has been recaptured
That's the end of that
Never bein positive again
Thinkin that I got a winning hand
A realist lean toward defeatist now I ain't a role model of a man
Life got a real good right jab
Hope is the corner with an ice pack
A dream is that thing you agree to pay for
Without ever looking at the price tag
You say pessimist I say type cast
Some just know where the dice land
try to explain but I be trying to vain
I don't really care where you might stand
you could see the world through rose colored glasses I'm happy for ya don't mean I can
Never sugarcoat don't polish the crap
Tell it how it is when it's like that
I wish I could see the world through some rose colored glasses
I've never seen the world through no rose colored glasses
