Amitripyline

So long, goodbye
By order of the Pasadena court
So long, goodbye
100 milligrams are needed everyday,
Held down by a pharmaceutical hand,
Are needed everyday, so we can regulate
My uncontrollable urge

Remember me as I was,
Too much life, and oh too much love
last week my lastly stunning stunt,
top tier, my jumping chandelier

That’s why I’m here…
Amitriptyline

I was a quiet, lunchbox lonely little boy
reading sci-fi, broken treehouse on the shore
at nineteen the 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

Remember me as I was,
the clowning judge, the crowning dove,
Sad king alone in the western wing
Holding foe’s laughing, severed head

That’s why I’m here…
Amitriptyline
