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 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
