John Vanderslice

Amitriptyline

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 rage

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

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
