I took a drive today

Time to emancipate

I guess it was the beatings that made me wise

But I'm not about to give thanks or apologize

I couldn't breathe

Holding me down

Hand on my face

Pushed to the ground

Enmity gauged

United by fear

Forced to endure

What I could not forgive

I seem to look away

Wounds in the mirror wait

It wasn't my surface most defiled

Hand at your feet

Fool to your crown

Fist on my plate

Swallow it down

Enmity gauged

United by fear

Tried to endure

What I could not forgive

Saw things

Saw things

Saw things

Saw things

Clearer

Clearer

Once you

Were in my

Rearview mirror

I gather speed

From you messing with me

Once and for all

I'm far away

I hardly believe

Finally the shades are raised

Saw things

So much clearer

Once you

Once you

Saw things

So much clearer

Once you

Once you

Rearview mirror

My rearview mirror
