Hand Me Downs

Got more than clothes in my bedroom closet So many bones from a line of coffins All my DNA is twisted up just like my brain Kinda hurts to know that all my family is the same I’m anxious like my mother, and I’m distant like my dad Defensive like my brother, got the ugly good and bad I know they did their best and gave me everything they had But now I just got everything they had Thank you for the hand me downs Fit me just a bit too well Living in your shoes until I wear them out I don’t look like myself Still walking around In your hand me downs Dadadadada Dadadadada Dadadadada Wearing all the hand me downs Treat every stain like a badge of honor We share a name and box of trauma Hiding my emotions in the pockets of my genes Temper so explosive that I’m ripping at the seams I’m anxious like my mother, and I’m distant like my dad Defensive like my brother, got the ugly good and bad I know they did their best and gave me everything they had But now I just got everything they had Thank you for the hand me downs Fit me just a bit too well Living in your shoes until I wear them out I don’t look like myself Still walking around In your hand me downs Dadadadada Dadadadada Dadadadada Wearing all the hand me downs
