Here but I'm Gone

Lyrics

How did I get so far gone?
 Where do I belong?
 And where in the world did I ever go wrong?
 If I took the time to replace
 What my mind erased
 I still feel as if I'm here, but I'm gone
 Poached up in a rocking-chair
 With my feet all bare
 Rolling my blunt in a cigar wrap
 Live an adolescent mind
 Never do take the time
 Waiting for my high, quiet as it's kept
 How did I get so far gone?
 Where do I belong?
 And where in the world did I ever go wrong?
 If I took the time to replace
 What my mind erased
 I still feel as if I'm here, but I'm gone
 Mama told me I was best
 Argue and punch in the chest
 Son, now be strong, let me take you home
 I'd see in her eyes so sincere
 Screaming, what got me here
 Standing in the world with my mind all blown
 How did I get so far gone?
 Where do I belong?
 And where in the world did I ever go wrong?
 If I took the time to replace
 What my mind erased
 I still feel as if I'm here, but I'm gone
 How did I get so far gone?
 Where do I belong?
 And where in the world did I ever go wrong?
 If I took the time to replace
 What my mind erased
 I still feel as if I'm here, but I'm gone
 I do nothing but waste all my time
 Leaving the world behind
 Smoking my crack just to keep me high
 Around the boys I play my part rough
 Keep myself tough enough
 Never to cry, don't really wanna die
 How did I get so far gone?
 Where do I belong?
 And where in the world did I ever go wrong?
 If I took the time to replace
 What my mind erased
 I still feel as if I'm here, but I'm gone
 How did I get so far gone?
 Where do I belong?
 And where in the world did I ever go wrong?
 If I took the time to replace
 What my mind erased
 I still feel as if I'm here, but I'm gone
 How did I get so far gone?
 Where do I belong?
 And where in the world did I ever go wrong?
 If I took the time to replace
 What my mind erased
 I still feel as if I'm here, but I'm gone
