Rose Mirror from Division Street by Solipse

rose glass when you’re looking back with trouble ahead
the past by any other namesake will make the future seem grim
rose-tinted rearview when you’re driving out or lost in the weeds of your mind’s eye
who’s got your back when you’re facing yourself or chasing to the sun
rose mirror when we’re outside ourselves

took overlong to see your conscience hollow
not meant to be, make sure the future stings

rose-tinted prism in your hand, when you’re looking back
or looking forward to the past that’s in your head but never was
you found the right way to hide?

we misplace a piece of ourselves lost to the past
there’s something you left in your life holding you back
don’t shrink, don’t stray, just know that the tide…

rose cage, gilded glass, a slave to a past that never was
don’t speak, don’t stray, just know that the tide…
