I Caught Him High
I caught him high, but I was high
as we passed each other with mutual dread
he caught me high, but he was high
smoked some of his s--- and thought I would die
then he looked at me as if I were dead
I caught him high, but I was high
young foolish and willing to try
anything to pry the nightmares from my head
he caught me high, but he was high
when momma’ left I wasn’t sure why
the emptiness proved a tough skin to shed
I caught him high, but I was high
anger crept through the house like a poltergeist
dislodging dreams without a word being said
he caught me high, but he was high
our sullen minds closed at the exact same time
no questions answered only demons fed
I caught him high, but I was high
he caught me high, but he was high
