Analysis of The Hand Me Down Life
The life I live is not my own, its run by someone else.
They decide where I live and where I work, what I choose to do is irrelevant.
My happiness is hidden, It's controlled by outside forces.
Everytime I try to take hold of my life, my dreams get shattered.
I loose my momentum, I'm lost in this happiness once more.
