I'm here, but I'm not here

I'm here, but I'm not here 
(8/19/15) 

As I drift away into my own thoughts 
Voices get farther away 
Once more trapped within my own mind 
Unaware of my surroundings 
The world around goes on without me 
 As conversations continue unhindered by my absence 
In my head is nothing but silence 
Then my thoughts begin to penetrate the fog 
In my mind I aalone 
Don't try to talk to me 'cause I won't hear you 
I'm somewhere else now even if you still see me 
Lost within myself 
Consumed by my own thoughts 
So far away 
Only half aware when you say my name 
I'm daydreaming yet it's unclear 
As I sit here thinking 
I'm here, but I'm not here
