My Name Isn’t Katherine

[Intro]
Your mind is created by your name

[Chorus]
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?

[Verse 1]
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 thе fuck did it happen?
Tracing the lines, but thе 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 want to appear on the CNN crawler
I want to be leisurely tanning, Bahama cruise
I'm on the loose
Nothing to lose, give me the juice
Sipping the 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
We still talk about that with my therapist
So I don't go jumping off terraces

[Chorus]
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?

[Verse 2]
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 wraps itself around me just like a lasso
Follow me from NYC out to Glasgow
Pounding me into the ground like a gavel
Said you can't escape
Look in the envelope, sealing my fate
I'm feeling the pain of a person who's spreading the love
But witnesses hate
Wait

[Verse 3]
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 theirself
They say that we're going to Hell
But I turn my cheek, I can tell
That they 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 name
Nobody even chose their name

[Bridge]
I thought that my name was unique
But it was naïve 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?

[Chorus]
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
