I wear the mask, I play the role
A perfect picture, calm and whole
But deep inside, the fire burns
A restless soul, a world to turn
I'm stuck in chains I didn't choose
A life of order, but what's the use
Behind the smile, the fire's wild
A rebel trapped, a feral child
I want to break, I want to scream
Tear down the walls and chase my dream
No more a puppet, no more disguise
The rebel inside will rise, will rise
The nine-to-five, the endless grind
I walk the line, but lose my mind
They tell me "Stay, don't rock the boat"
But I'm a storm they can't control
I want to break, I want to scream
Tear down the walls and chase my dream
No more a puppet, no more disguise
The rebel inside will rise, will rise
Rrriiiihhhiiissss
No more "Yes, sir," no more bowing low
I'll burn the rules and let it show
This life's a cage, but I've got the key
Unleash the rebel, let me be free
I want to break, I want to scream
Tear down the walls and chase my dream
No more a puppet, no more disguise
The rebel inside will rise, will rise
Yeaaarrrrr yeeeaarrr
So here I stand, no fear, no shame
A burning heart, a roaring flame
The life they built, I'll leave behind
The rebel inside is finally mine
