In Greek mythology, Cassandra (Greek Κασσάνδρα, also Κασάνδρα, also known as Alexandra) was the daughter of King Priam and Queen Hecuba of Troy. Her beauty caused Apollo to grant her the gift of prophecy. In an alternative version, she spent a night at Apollo's temple, at which time the temple snakes licked her ears clean so that she was able to hear the future (this is a recurring theme in Greek mythology, though sometimes it brings an ability to understand the language of animals rather than an ability to know the future). When she did not return his love, Apollo placed a curse on her so that no one would ever believe her predictions. She is a figure both of the epic tradition and of tragedy, where her combination of deep understanding and powerlessness exemplify the ironic condition of humankind.
Cassandra was the daughter of King Priam and Queen Hecuba and the twin sister of Helenus. She was said to have had red hair kept in curls, blue eyes,and fair skin and she was very beautiful, intelligent, charming, desirable, elegant, friendly, and gentle, but she was considered to be insane. Cassandra was described as the "second most beautiful woman in the world." Her beauty was even compared to that of Aphrodite and Helen of Troy.

Cassandra Bankson was born in 1992 to Mr Bankson and Jennifer Bankson who raised raised her in the San Francisco Bay Area, California. She grew up in the suburbs playing piano and taking part in singing and other talent competitions. In the 3d grade, she got her first pimple , and as she got older she developed severe acne that engulfed 85%-90% of her face. She was severely bullied by peers because of her extreme cystic acne. She became recluse and left from her from High School in favor of a Private School where she worked with teachers directly so they couldn't bully and tease her about her skin condition. (She was even teased later in her career by members of The Dirty.com, as seen on her Appearance on the Anderson Cooper Show.) She distanced herself from her friends and concentrated solely on school work, enabling her to graduate 2 years ahead of her class (with grades that eventually enabled her to study at Stanford University). During the time she was in Private School and studying, she researched makeup videos to find a solution for her skin. None of the videos online gave her what her skin needed, so she made trips to the makeup store and played with cosmetics for months until she found what worked.

She's not bad. She just acts that way.
Down in the street they're all singing and shouting
Staying alive though the city is dead
Hiding their shame behind hollow laughter
While you are crying alone on your bed
Pity Cassandra that no one believed you
But then again you were lost from the start
Now we must suffer and sell our secrets
Bargain, playing smart, aching in our hearts
Sorry Cassandra I misunderstood
Now the last day is dawning
Some of us wanted but none of us would
Listen to words of warning
But on the darkest of nights
Nobody knew how to fight
And we were caught in our sleep
Sorry Cassandra I didn't believe
You really had the power
I only saw it as dreams you would weave
Until the final hour
So in the morning your ship will be sailing
Now that your father and sister are gone
There is no reason for you to linger
You're grieving deeply but still moving on
You know the future is casting a shadow
No one else sees it but you know your fate
Packing your bags, being slow and thorough
Knowing, though you're late, that ship is sure to wait
Sorry Cassandra I misunderstood
Now the last day is dawning
Some of us wanted but none of us would
Listen to words of warning
But on the darkest of nights
Nobody knew how to fight
And we were caught in our sleep
Sorry Cassandra I didn't believe
You really had the power
I only saw it as dreams you would weave
Until the final hour
I watched the ship leaving harbor at sunrise
Sails almost slack in the cool morning rain
She stood on deck, just a tiny figure
Rigid and restrained, blue eyes filled with pain
Sorry Cassandra I misunderstood
Now the last day is dawning
Some of us wanted but none of us would
Listen to words of warning
But on the darkest of nights
Nobody knew how to fight
And we were caught in our sleep
Sorry Cassandra I didn't believe
You really had the power
I only saw it as dreams you would weave
Until the final hour
I'm sorry Cassandra
I'm sorry Cassandra
I'm sorry Cassandra
I'm sorry Cassandra
As she falls another time under the summer rain
(She need to find her aim)
A victim of her gift she never really lived
Now she's trying to forget
The time she felt the necessity to show the cross she bears
(But no one really cared)
Betraying her innocence she hopes to be blind
When the world will start to scream
What's ahead I don't know
Is she real the truth be told?
Watch the worlds fall
Oh Cassandra
Where do you want to go?
Oh Cassandra
You hide the truth that we soon will know
Oh Cassandra
Your silence is frightening, believe me
Oh Cassandra
To heed your words
Fools never hear the truth
Laid out for them
Worlds are crashing to the ground by the hands of men
Oh Cassandra
Where do you want to go?
Oh Cassandra
You hide the truth that we soon will know
Oh Cassandra
Your silence is frightening, believe me
Oh Cassandra
To heed your words
Oh Cassandra
Where do you want to go?
Oh Cassandra
You hide the truth that we soon will know
Oh Cassandra
Your silence is frightening, believe me
Oh Cassandra
Watching backwards as life like pictures
Stinging thoughts, born with phantoms
We danced above a world forgotten
Moments cherished...even now
A train-wrecked heart loves fairy tales
Singing from a gaping wound
However time has left unsettled
My memories play out of tune
You can't unmake a cold mistake
You can't undo the hearts you break
You can't erase the poet's fate
Not even if you try
And she had Audry Hepburn's smile
With deeper sadder eyes
The only thing she said
No one hears Cassandra cry
Because the earth is standing still
And the truth becomes a lie
A choice profound is bittersweet
No one hears Cassandra cry
A heartfelt sorrow I believe
Offered this for passion's crime
A crippled satellite trapped in orbit
My memories play out of time
You can't unmake a cold mistake
You can't undo the hearts you break
You can't erase the poet's fate
Not even if you ry...
The listless price of my descension
Where emptiness has pulled me down
Cascading from my divagation
Below the frozen winter skies
Pythonic sadness unreleased
As serpents rigid in cold
Waiting for the warmth of Sunday
Before the cruelty of growing old
Are you listening?
Are you listening?
Are you listening now?
Like Orpheus with hope intangled
Your path was mapped about your feet
Leading backwards into forgiveness
Or forward to a foold retreat
She’d like to blame it on the sky
‘Cause she can’t help but knowing
She’d rather turn a blind eye
Just to keep the truth from showing
But if you get her on the wine
She just might let it slip
And if she tells you it’s your time
You know you’ll pay for it
She sees the writing on the wall
She says that there’s no turning back
But it’s too soon to say goodbye
Cassandra tell me why
Cassandra tell me why
She writes her number on a napkin
An undercover prophet
She only gambles when the bills get high
Then stuffs the money in her pocket
All she has is sentimental
The comfort doesn’t last
She can tell you all your stories
Before they’ve even passed
She sees the writing on the wall
She says that there’s no turning back
But it’s too soon to say goodbye
Cassandra tell me why
Cassandra tell me why
It’s too soon to say goodbye
So Cassandra tell me why
She sees the writing on the wall
She says that there’s no turning back
But it’s too soon to say goodbye
Cassandra tell me why
Oh Cassandra
I sit and listen to the radio (oh oh)
I think about the time I stood you up
I didn't know that you were going home
She's going to leave tonight
Oh Cassandra
I left you crying at the stadium (woah no)
And now she's flying back to Tokyo
She won't be screaming in the crowd at the show
She's going to leave this all and go
Chorus:
And her name is Cassandra
It is Cassandra
Sometimes I am breathing down the telephone
And it's Cassandra
Chorus
And it's Cassandra
And I can't start to let her go
Oh Cassandra
I wish that you and I could have just one more night
I bought a ticket to your aeroplane
I didn't make it to the gate on time
Oh Cassandra
I drove as fast as my Camaro would let me go
And after running ever single light
I'm still a minute and a half too slow
Chorus
And her name is Cassandra
It is Cassandra
Sometimes I am breathing down the telephone
And though I'm out of time
That's why I'm out of time
And I am out of time x2
She said to leave this town tonight x2
Chorus
And it's Cassandra
And I can't start to let her go
Chorus
And it's Cassandra
He gave to her, yet tenfold claim'd in return -
She hath no life but the one he for her wrought;
Proffer'd to her his wauking heart - she turn'd it down,
Riposted with a tell-tale lore of lies and scorn.
Prophetess or fond?,
Tho' her parle of truth;
"I ken to-morrow - refell me if ye can!",
Yet the kiss and breath - Apollo's bane -
Seer of the future, not of twain,
"Sicker!", quoth Cassandra.
Still, is she lief and quaint in his eyne, a sight divine? -
A mistress fuell'd by his prest haughtiness -
If he did grant, whrefore then did he not foresee,
Belike egal as it to him might be?!
Prophetess or fond?,
Tho' her parle of truth;
"I ken to-morrow - refell me if ye can!",
Yet the kiss and breath - Apollo's bane -
Seer of the future, not of twain,
"Sicker!", quoth Cassandra.
'Or was he an aeried being;
'Or was he weening - alack nay mo;
Her naysay' raught his heart,
Her daffing was the grave of all hope -
She belied her own words,
He thought her life, save moreo'er scourge,
She held him august, yet wee;
She was wandering wild-eyed out in the street
So I brought her upstairs and sat at her feet
I made her some coffee and something to eat
Cassandra, now, tell me
Go on you can tell me
She just shook her head
And kicked at the bedspread
And cried, "Why do I see terrible things?"
She said that the rivers would run in reverse
And hurricane season this year will be worse
Wells in the desert all gushing with blood
Great giant palaces buried in the mud
She talked about a plane crash, it happened that night
When I saw it on television, I knew she was right
She said she could see oh so clearly what happens to me
I said, "No, please,
I don't wanna know,
I don't wanna know,
I don't wanna know,
I don't wanna know,
Hey Cassandra, you know about the future
Is there any reason why you know it goes so sad
Somewhere in time another premonition
Or is it a memory of what happened in the past
Cassandra, when you cry
Cassandra, ???
Cassandra, stay the night
Cassandra, tears so right
When will you know if you can break the danger
Haven't you seen by now what lies ahead
Nobody listens till it's too late to change it
Was it suspicion, no matter what you said
Cassandra, when you cry
Cassandra, ???
Cassandra, stay the night
Cassandra, tears so right
Cassandra, when you cry
Cassandra, oooh oooh oooh
Cassandra, wooaaah
Cassandra, cry cry cry
Cassandra, tears so right
Cassandra
Cassandra
Cassandra
Tell me why, though I try to forget
Tell me why, why I think of you yet
I know I'll never be free
What has happened to me
Tell me why
(Tell me why)
When we danced until three
Tell me why
(Tell me why)
Why my heart couldn't see
I never dreamed of romance
Never gave it a chance
When I think of how you looked that day
In your gown of silk and lace
Should have known the day you came my way
That this is the time and the place
Tell me why I keep fooling my heart
When I know, it was love from the start
Why don't we give it a try
If you know, tell me why
(And when I think of how you looked that day)
In your gown of silk and lace
(Should have known the day you came my way)
That this is the time and the place
Tell me why I keep fooling my heart
When I know, it was love from the start
Why don't we give it a try
If you know, tell me why
Da da da di da daaa
Da da da di da da
Da da da di da daaa (x3)
Da da da di da daaa
Da da da di da da, just tell me why
Lying in my bed I'm counting sheep
I'm turning round and round and round and find no sleep
Is It right or wrong that I just went away
the cards been played and there is nothing left to say
Tell me just tell me why the sun goes round the moon
Tell me just tell me why the stars shine at noon
Tell me just tell me why the water stirs up the flame
Tell me just tell me am I going insane?
Shaking, faking, that I feel the ease
Being companion of the demons underneath the seas
singing with the angels in the sky
the last chorus of the madman's lullaby
Tell me just tell me why the sun goes round the moon
Tell me just tell me why the stars shine at noon
Tell me just tell me why the water stirs up the flame
He wanted your love
Claiming a single night of passion
But when push came to shove
You didn't keep your promise
Turning his desire to obsession
Did you believe you could lead him on
Like you said
And he would simply take his loss
Forgive and forget
Just like that
You betrayed his trust
You played and lost
For the world's gone deaf
To the tales that you're telling
Now isn't it sad ?
Oh Cassandra
You ignited the fire
Did you know your fate was sealed
When you backed out off the deal
Oh Cassandra
The world's sweetest liar
There's no one to believe your warnings
And destiny was changed by just one kiss
Did you believe you could lead him on
Like you said
And he would simply take his loss
Forgive and forget
Just like that
You betrayed his trust
You played and lost
For the world's gone deaf
To the tales that you're telling
Now who's been misled?
Oh Cassandra
You ignited the fire
When you backed out on your word
The gift became a curse
Oh Cassandra
The world's sweetest liar
How can anyone believe your warnings
Watching backwards as life like pictures
Stinging thoughts, born with phantoms
We danced above a world forgotten
Moments cherished...even now
A train-wrecked heart loves fairy tales
Singing from a gaping wound
However time has left unsettled
My memories play out of tune
You can't unmake a cold mistake
You can't undo the hearts you break
You can't erase the poet's fate
Not even if you try
And she had Audry Hepburn's smile
With deeper sadder eyes
The only thing she said
No one hears Cassandra cry
Because the earth is standing still
And the truth becomes a lie
A choice profound is bittersweet
No one hears Cassandra cry
A heartfelt sorrow I believe
Offered this for passion's crime
A crippled satellite trapped in orbit
My memories play out of time
You can't unmake a cold mistake
You can't undo the hearts you break
You can't erase the poet's fate
Not even if you ry...
The listless price of my descension
Where emptiness has pulled me down
Cascading from my divagation
Below the frozen winter skies
Pythonic sadness unreleased
As serpents rigid in cold
Waiting for the warmth of Sunday
Before the cruelty of growing old
Are you listening?
Are you listening?
Are you listening now?
Like Orpheus with hope intangled
Your path was mapped about your feet
Leading backwards into forgiveness
I could see myself living in the ocean with nothing new to say
I've got a grievance with devotion no matter where I sleep
I could see myself happy in my old age with no one around to save
and no one above my grave
Every day I spin the globe and think of life somewhere else
This is a necessary evil that I found in myself
I could see myself cursing at the ocean with nothing new to say
I've got a grievance with commotion no matter how loud i scream
I could see myself happy in my old age with no one around to save
There's no one above my grave
Every day I spin the globe and think of life somewhere else
This is a necessary evil that I found in myself
The sound of school bells ringing makes its way into my head
Even when I find a place that suits me fine
Every day I spin the globe and think of life somewhere else
Oh, yes yes
I can't believe thats it's real
The way that she makes me feel
It's something deep down inside
Though it's a feeling I cannot tie
She's never been unfaithful to me
So we will always be
She's never been unfaithful to me
As far as I can see
She gave me love in the morning and in the evening too
She gave me love in the morning and in the evening too
She gave me love in when I'm lonely so I've never felt blue
She gave me love in when I'm lonely so I've never felt blue
So ride on, Cassandra, ride on, yes, ride on, ride on
Ride on, Cassandra, ride on, ride on, ride on
Yes, oh, yes
I can't believe thats it's real
The way that she makes me feel, yeah
It's something deep down inside
Though it's a feeling I cannot tie
She's never been unfaithful to me
So we will always be
She's never been unfaithful to me
As far as I can see
She gave me love in the morning and in the evening too
She gave me love in the morning and in the evening too, yes
She gave me love in when I'm lonely so I've never felt blue
She gave me love in when I'm, ooh yes
She gave me love in when I'm lonely and in the evening too
She gave me love in the morning and in the evening too
She gave me love in when I'm lonely so I've never felt blue
She gave me love in the morning and in the evening too
