Can't Explain

Just what is this i'm looking for, what am i seeking to secure? For once I gather a bright new day, I see it as a broken lure Being happy and content is just an illusive dream Countless are the strings attached, in every way, I'm being hacked One thing that I ask of life is to straighten out what's wrong The symptoms are all I can relate, it's just the same old song I can't remember a single word, so all I do is hum Nothing has rhyme or reason at all, there is no pain, I just feel numb For what it's worth, I've gathered my tears, as a looking glass to my inner self Trust me, my friend, I know in the end, I'll be placed upon a shelf
