Richard Divine

[Produced By Alex Newport] [Verse 1] Richard Divine made up his mind To take the last few steps to bathroom door From his bedroom floor and to lock himself in Steady young hands, meticulous plans Disposable razors and a blister pack filled With strong sleeping pills, a bath of hot water [Hook 1] He said he's not for sale, said that he felt hounded Crowded and surrounded by this life he didn't choose [Verse 2] He carefully wrote a funerary note On his best writing paper to set out the facts And sealed it with wax and left it in the kitchen He left it out so his parents would know What there was waiting for them Pale cold skin, bloody seeping into the landing carpet [Hook 2] He said he's not for sale, said that he felt hounded Crowded and surrounded by this life he didn't choose But everybody plays this game on a daily basis They're not heroes, they're survivors, it's not Shakespearean if they lose [Bridge] So do what you want, do what you want Do what the voices tell you Don't ever say, don't ever say that we didn't warn you Cause we warned you [Hook 3] He said he's not for sale but he bought into his failure He's telling tales that hammer nails right into open palms A martyr in reverse, he's best at being worst The rest of us are cursed but we keep calm we carry on [Outro] So Richard, here it is None of us are blameless, huddled here like strangers Shameless in our lists of all the changes we say we need But I think that you knew that You can't pretend it's news that If you cut yourself you'll bleed
