rebel of the night

I got snakes under my bedroom

I got grass on my old floor

It's got cracks and it's got holes the spiders know

I was scared of open windows

I was scared of growin' old

So I never told nobody, so no one knows

And the rain, it sounds like thunder

Underneath that old tin roof

All those pans and all those buckets made it waterproof

I was scared of bringin' the trash out

Always scared of what could be in the dark

So I never quit my singin', never turned my head

And I'm thankful for forgiveness

Even though my heart's a mess

And I just never called you over when you're lonely

'Cause I'm a disgrace

Black out, oh, black out my head

I'm glad I didn't run away instead

But I can't call you lover, call you rebel

Call you all the things I never had

And I said

Love me the way, there's no night in my day

If it's so, I might as well just stay

And I just called you lover, called you rebel

More than I had ever did before

And I blacked out my head like a mood in the mess

I don't wanna call out in the dark

And I just watched you while you're fighting

With the rebel of the night, and I'm afraid

I got snakes under my bedroom

I got grass on my old floor

It's got cracks and it's got holes the spiders know

I was scared of open windows

I was scared of growin' old

So I never told nobody, so no one knows

And the rain, it sounds like thunder

Underneath that old tin roof

All those pans and all those buckets made it waterproof

I was scared of bringin' the trash out

Always scared of what could be in the dark

So I never quit my singin', never turned my head

And I'm thankful for forgiveness

Even though my heart's a mess

And I just never called you over when you're lonely

'Cause I'm a disgrace

And I was callin' it fair

'Cause i believed in the mess

I just lost all my reason there

Because I wasn't prepared

Damn, I just called it a home

'Cause I needed it anyway

Yeah, I was scared of the fear

But I got used to it anyway
