Favorite Son

why did you need to take that pill? never has and never 
will make you better make you well you're shackled in your 
self-inflicted cell sunlight you'll never see you're a 
prisoner of pharmacology and you're telling me you feel 
fine never better that's what you said in your last letter 
that was read aloud at your memorial last week where are 
you now? up above? i hope you find some kind of love that 
isn't bottled or tamper-resistant but unconditional and 
consistent the peace you've spent you lifetime searching 
for if this is what it takes maybe others can learn form 
your mistakes and turn off that blacklight before it gets 
too late
