The Cable Routine
Dearest me

I’m writing this in the vain hope that it will help
Although I fear the opposite effect
Here I stand, on this hotel balcony ledge
With three feet of cable wrapped around my neck

I am heavy with you
I am heavy with you

Dearest friend

This is not the sign of a healthy mind;
I cannot sleep until the day is won
Looking west, it is six o’clock and it is dusk
And so I fear that I will follow the sun

I am heavy with you
I am heavy with you
I am heavy with you
I am heavy with you
Everything is as it should be
I’ve seen this view before
To everyone who says they love me
Don’t say you’ve not been warned

Everything is as it was
The words that stop my fall
The words that stop my fall

I cannot change
I’ve never been afraid of anything

I’ve done this before and I’ll do it again

Every day
The same lost thoughts the same cold place
Can't you see
These evenings are long, we are disappearing friend

I am heavy with you
I am heavy with you
I am heavy with you

Everything is as it should be
(I am heavy with you)
Everything is as it was
Everything is as it should be
(I am heavy with you)
Everything is as it was

I am heavy with you
(I am heavy with you,)
I am heavy with you
(I am heavy with you,)
I am heavy with you
