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 |
Porched 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 my 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 and 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 want to 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 |
