K. Flay - My Name Isn’t Katherine lyrics

[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 fu*k 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
