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
Kissin’ the ground
Enmity gauged
United by fear
Spos’ed 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
Fist on my plate
Swallowed 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 ****ing 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 were in my rearview mirror
Saw things so much clearer
Once you were in my rearview mirror…

-Pearl Jam
