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
