Here but I'm Gone

Perched 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?
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?
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 pipe just to keep me high
Around the boys, I play my part rough, keep myself tough enough
Never to cry, I don't really wanna die, oh-ah

How did I get so far gone? Where do I belong?
Where in the world did I ever go wrong? (Ever go wrong?)
If I took the time to replace, what my mind erased (if I, oh what?)
I still feel as if I'm here but I'm gone (I'm here but I'm gone)

(I'm here but I'm gone)
(I'm here but I'm gone)
(I'm here but I'm gone)
(I'm here but I'm gone)
(I'm here but I'm gone)
