Rearviewmirror lyrics

I took a drive today

Time to emancipate

I guess it was the beatings made me wise

But I'm not about to give thanks, or apologize

I couldn't breathe, holdin' me down

Hand on my face, pushed to the ground

Enmity gaged, united by fear

Forced to endure what I could not forgive

I seem to look away

Wounds in the mirror waved

It wasn't my surface most defiled

Head at your feet, fool to your crown

Pissed on my plate, swallowed it down

Enmity gaged, united by fear

Tried to endure what I could not forgive

Saw things [Repeat x4]

Clearer [Repeat x2]

Once you, were in my rearviewmirror

I gather speed from you fucking with me

Once and for all I'm far away

I hardly believe, finally the shades, are raised, hey

Saw things so much clearer

Once you, once you [Repeat x3]

Rearviewmirror

Saw things so much clearer

Once you, oh yeah
