Amitriptyline

I've listened to this song before, but never knew what amitriptyline was. I just googled it and what do you know, it's a god damn antidespressant. This song makes so much more sense to me now.

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