I took a page out of my favorite book
World sold me lies just by the way I looked
Taught me a language that I never speak
I knew, that ain't for me
That, that ain't for me
Evangelical gospel, speaking through the lies
I found my own truth, beneath the endless skies
Breaking down the stories that they tried to tell
Finding in the silence my own ringing bell
I took a page out of my favorite book
When they look at me, they don't see the soul they took
Casting shadows on my heart, what a lonely game
But I’m rising up now, won't be bound by their name
I knew, that ain't for me
That, that ain't for me
Evangelical gospel, speaking through the lies
I found my own truth, beneath the endless skies
So I walk this road, my own feet will tread
No more fitting in, or living out of dread
I took a page out of my favorite book
And I’m writing a new story, take a closer look
I knew, that ain't for me
That, that ain't for me
Evangelical gospel, speaking through the lies
I found my own truth, beneath the endless skies
So hear my voice, it’s loud and it’s clear
I’ve taken what’s mine, and I’ll stand without fear
I took a page out of my favorite book
And I'll keep on writing, just take a closer look.
