Heresy // Ellie's Story Lyrics

Ah

Once upon a time, there was a girl named Ell

She would wake up in the morning, brush her teeth, then go to hell

Ellie wasn't scared, you see the demons taught her well

She kept a blade by her side, hidden underneath her belt

Ah

See, Ellie, she was cast out

Banished for her sins

They picked her up and kicked her ass out

'Cause one day she was tired of being treated like the class clown

So she sliced a motherfucker up and beat his ass down,

Kill them all, Ellie heard the demons call

She lit a match and set the walls aflame inside the city hall

Everyone was screaming with their faces twisted, full of doom

She looked them in their eyes and said

This room will be your flaming tomb

The voices in her head were wide awake

Ellie reached the point where there was nothing more that she could take

Day after day, there's a feeling that she can't shake

But something's gotta give

'Cause Ellie had to break

No more gasping for my breath, I'm done being denied air

Time to let these fuckers know they lost their right to fight fair

Always talking shit, even when I'm standing right there

They called me a heretic, yeah I'm their worst nightmare

The bull in the china shop's on a shopping spree

I'm leaving this fucking place and nobody is stopping me

Breaking from the frame of who they thought I oughta be

'Cause I am who I am, and you'll never take that away from me

The voices in my head are wide awake

I think I've reached the point where there's nothing more that I can take

Day after day, there's a feeling that I can't shake

But something's gotta give

'Cause I'm about to break down

I'm suffocating in this skin, let me out

Let me out

I'm two steps from the edge right now

No more gasping for my breath, I'm done being denied air

Time to let these fuckers know they lost their right to fight fair

Always talking shit, even when I'm standing right there

They called me a heretic, yeah I'm their worst nightmare

The bull in the china shop's on a shopping spree

I'm leaving this fucking place and nobody is stopping me

Breaking from the frame of who they thought I oughta be

'Cause I am who I am, and you'll never take that away from me
