Rebel Yell

By Kevin Robey
August 8, 2014

If I could just live for one day
No matter what you do
No matter what you say

If I could spend all that time
Just making it count
Just callin it mine 

I wouldn't be so obtuse 
I would make it ok
I'd untie my noose 

If you could simply understand me
Forget how I look 
Cut through what you see

This wouldn't be so sad 
If you knew what I was 
And how it's cost all I've ever had

If you could know how it felt
To lie every day
To feel my skin melt 

Maybe you wouldn't be so unfair 
When you stare at my nails
When you laugh at my hair

How do you think you would feel
If I told you who you were?
If I told you what was real?

How could you even understand?
What this all means to me
The empty past i see

All I want is to have a place
Where you love me for me
Where you forget about my face

So if you have to criticize 
I don't want your hand 
I don't want your advice 

And if you want a guide
I'll show you my soul
I'll take you inside 

And if you really wanna know
What this all means 
I'll just take it slow

Cause I want you to know
I want you to know...
