Amitriptyline - John Vanderslice

So long, goodbye

By order of the Pasadena court

So long, goodbye

Five hundred milligrams

Held down by a pharamceutical hand, goodbye

Are needed everyday

So we can regulate my uncontrollable urge

Remember me as I was

Too much life, oh, and too much love

Last week, my lastly stunning stunt

Top tier, my jumping chandelier

That’s why I’m here

Amitriptyline

Ami…

Amitriptyline

I was a quiet, lunch box lonely little boy

Reading sci-fi, broken treehouse on the shore

Nineteen, talking in my head got harder to understand

No work, no school, drifting, a failing satellite

Don’t feel sorry for me, I’ve been happy too

Manic, kindly, blinding, high-res euphoria

Please remember me as I was

The crowning dove, the clowning judge

Sad king alone in the western wing

Holding foe’s laughing, severed head

That’s why I’m here

Amitriptyline

Ami…

Amitriptyline
