"Rebel" lyrics

I gotta be a rebel from the inside out

I've been talking with angels crying, trying to understand
I've been dealing with devils lying, just to play my hand
Always some kind of gravity beating, trying to keep me down
I gotta be a rebel from the inside out
From the inside out

I saw the eyes of salvation at the end of a cigarette
Empty promises and empty bottles went straight to my head
I've been searching for remedies nowhere to be found
I gotta be a rebel from the inside out

I was counting on you, boy, to come and save me from my self
I depended on love to escape my personal hell
I never needed anyone, baby, I know that now
I'm gonna be a rebel from the inside out
From the inside out

I don't need your prayers or epiphanies any more
I won't give my apologies babe for breaking down that door
I'm gonna turn all my tears into diamonds for my crown
I'm gonna be a rebel from the inside out

(From the inside out
From the inside out
From the inside...)

I don't need no one
I don't need your love
I don't need your help, your prayers or your opinions anymore
I don't need your love

I never needed anyone, baby, I know that now
I'm gonna be a rebel from the inside out

(From the inside out
From the inside out
From the inside...)

I gotta be a rebel from the inside out
