The High Is Mine

The story

They told me I'd miss it, that I'd crawl back with my mouth dry. I didn't. The fire they thought they were lending me was mine the whole time; they were only the night around it. Whatever lifts you, make sure you're the one holding the match.

Lyrics

You said I’d miss the hit
That I’d crawl back
Eyes wide, mouth dry
But I never lacked

You thought you were the spark
But I lit you
You thought you were the dark
But I bit through
Last call, last fix, last breath
Guess who’s dancing —
While you forget?

No crash
No crave
No guilt
No grave
I left you soft
I came back loud
You fade in whispers
I move a crowd

The high is mine
You tagged along for the ride
But I was always the fire
You were just the night
The high is mine
No tongue, no lie, no line
I don’t come down —
I climb
The high is mine

You looked like god in the neon flicker
But I blinked — and you got thinner
White light, wet hands
Empty vows in bathroom plans
But I was always the storm
You just held the door

No fix
No throne
No king
No bone
I don’t confess
I burn in gold
You tried to buy me
But I never sold

The high is mine
You traced your name on my skin
But I licked it off with a grin
You fade out — I begin
The high is mine
No pulse, no drip, no sign
This body’s wired divine
Don’t chase me —
The high is mine

I loved the buzz
But not the leash
I kissed the void
But not in peace
You thought I needed you to glow
But baby —
I overdose
On me

The high is mine
I never needed your name
I never needed your game
I came to burn — not blame
The high is mine
Don’t call it sin
Don’t call it shame
This body's the flame
The high —
Is mine
