Ten Minute High Songtext

SheShe doesn't need it, but she won't tryTry to release it'Cause she thinks she'll dieDependant on it, for it she'll lieIt's only a ten minute highEyesThat witnessed a father beat on a motherWitnessed a system take away her only brotherNo one ever said that they loved herShe used to close her eyes and make the pain subsideBut now she's got herTen minute highJust for a little whileShe's queen of all the skiesIf a hit is bad another one she can buyEverybody tells her to stopShe would tryBut nobody gave her a good reason whyTimeHas taken its tollShe looks to old for 17The girl is much too boldHer heart is cold when it used to be of goldHer Future Has no chance to unfoldShe's used her body to get her wayIs she ashamed of the games she's played?But her best defense is to block out all the painBut first she buys her...Ten minute highJust for a little while she's floating through the skyWhat'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 just gonna break down and cryWhen she comes down it all becomes too clearShe knows that someday she should face her fearsBut she's lost touch with reality and over the yearsShe's forgotten how it feels to be realIt's early morningQuiet is the streetShe lays in silenceThe cold cement beneath her feetShe passed away and today's her 18th birthdayAnd all she's left me to say is....She just had her last ten minute highDid she contemplate that it would take away her life?She probably knew, but she had no reason to fightThere is not a breath from her lipsNot even a sighIf only she had knownWrong from rightGoodbye, Goodbye, Goodbye girlGoodbye, Goodbye, Goodbye
