Amitriptyline

John Vanderslice · life and death of an american fourtracker

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 clowing judge



Sad king alone in the western wing



Holding foe's laughing, severed head



That's why I'm here



Amitriptyline



Ami...
