My Name Isn't Katherine

Your mind is created by your name

My name isn't Katherine

My name isn't Crystal

My name isn't Nicki or Chad or Sebastian

But thank you for asking

Drunk on a mattress, kissing an actress

Taking the last sip, they call that a hat trick

It turns out the sad kids become the Brad Pitts

Ain't that rich?

My name is a question

A reckoning whether my parents were laughing

Or stressing when they had to give me their blessing

And pray that it lasted

I went from the classroom acing exams in a regular fashion

To searching for God in a bathroom (where is He?)

And I wonder now

How the fuck did it happen?

Tracing the lines, but the lines get blurred

Yeah, the pot gets smoked and the pot gets stirred

Said my concert was dope, but I'm not so sure

I've been feeling the end of my rope, insecure

Wish I was taller and bigger but smaller too

I want a mansion to wander through

I wanna appear on the CNN crawler

I wanna be leisurely tanning Bahama cruise

I'm on the loose

Nothing to lose, gimme the juice

Sipping a brew

Because the news making me blue

Giving me anxiety, banks lie to us

Tanks firing, bang bang a lot

Catch sight of it, straight outta luck

You're dead

Society's pill-popping now

Dad lied to me, still talk about

That with my therapist

So I don't go jumping off terraces

My name isn't Katherine

My name isn't Crystal

My name isn't Nicki or Chad or Sebastian

But thank you for asking

Drunk on a mattress, kissing an actress

Taking the last sip, they call that a hat trick

It turns out the sad kids become the Brad Pitts

Ain't that rich?

My name is obnoxious

My name is preposterous

My name is an albatross around my neck

Tightening up her grip and it's making me nauseous

My name is a lineage, I am a guinea pig

Am I a genius, am I an idiot?

Am I just digits inside of the matrix

Existence is boxing me in like a cage every day

Yeah, my name is a shadow

It wrapped itself around me just like a lasso

Followed me from NYC out to Glasgow

Pounded me into the ground like a gavel

Said you can't escape

Licking the envelope, sealing my fate

I'm feeling the pain of a person who's spreading the love

But witnesses hate, wait

I rewind and decide to be kind whenever I can

So I'm making a beeline for all of my friends

And my enemies, even the ones who have declined

To be fine with everyone being their self

They say that we're going to hell

But I turned my cheek, I can tell

That they've just been crying for help

We all can be somebody else

'Cause everyone's feeling afraid

We all have the power to change

We all came to earth just the same

Nobody even chose their name

Nobody even chose their name

Nobody even chose their name

Nobody even chose their

I thought that my name was unique

But it was naive to believe that

Turns out there's many of me

Walking around on the planet

And one day the tables will turn

I'll look at my newborn baby

And know that her name is a curse

Isn't it crazy?

My name isn't Katherine

My name isn't Crystal

My name isn't Nicki or Chad or Sebastian

But thank you for asking

Drunk on a mattress, kissing an actress

Taking the last sip, they call that a hat trick

It turns out the sad kids become the Brad Pitts
