i'm not here

don't ask for me at my home
i'm not there, i've gone
don't go door to door to look for me
i'm not in this neighborhood anymore.

where did your lovely treasure go?
farther than you can chase me
i crossed heaven and the abyss
and found neither of them to my liking.

don't ask me where my mind is
i lost it along the way on the road named life
it's descended into quicksand
where it will remain buried forever

where did my lovely smile go?
it's been swept away by tears
and waves of darkness in my empty head
it'll stay gone forever.

don't ask me where i am
i'm not here, but i need to be here
the bell is ringing for another class
and I ramble through the halls;

my mind's never here.
