John Vanderslice - Amitriptyline Lyrics

So long, goodbye, by order of the Pasadena Court
So long, goodbye, 500 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 quiet, lunch box lonely little boy
Reading sci-fi, broken tree house on the shore
At nineteen the talking in my head got harder to understand
No work, so 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
