Battery Studios in New York City, New York - 10 Minute High lyrics

[Verse 1] She She doesn't need it But she won't try Try to release it 'Cause she thinks she'll die Depending on it For it, she'll lie It's only a 10 minute high Eyes That witnessed a father Beat on a mother Witnessed a system take away her only brother No one ever said that they loved her She used to shut her eyes and make the brain subside [Chorus 1] But now she's got her 10 minute high Just for a little while She's queen of all the skies If her head is bad, another one she can buy But everybody tells her to stop She would try But nobody gave her a good reason why [Verse 2] Time Has taken it's toll She looks too old For seventeen The girl is much too bold Her heart is cold when it used to be of gold Her future has no chance to unfold She's used her body To get her ways Is she ashamed Of the games she's played But her best defense is to block out all the pain [Chorus 2] But first she buys her 10 minute high Just for a little while She's floating through the sky What's she gonna do when she no longer can fly? Is she gonna land on her feet or come down to die Or is she gonna just break down and cry? [Bridge] When she comes down it all becomes too clear She knows that someday she should face her fears But with a touch of reality and over the years She's forgotten what it feels to be real [Verse 3] It's early morning, quiet is the street She lays in silence, the cold cement beneath her feet She pa**ed away and today's her eighteenth birthday And all she's left me to say is [Chorus 3] She just had her last 10 minute high Did she contemplate that it would take away her life? She probably knew, but she had no reason to fight There is not a breath on her lips, not even a sigh If only she had known wrong from right [Outro] Wrong from right If only she had known wrong from right If only she had known Known wrong from right Goodbye, goodbye Goodbye, goodbye, girl Goodbye, bye
