Where, Oh Where Has My Little Mind Gone

I think I lost it...
Has anyone seen my mind?
Must of wandered off...

I'll check lost and found
The last time I lost my mind
It played hide and seek

I last found my mind
Hold up in an old Junk Trunk
Sorting memories...

A box of clutter
Relics that remain after
We've faded away...
