[Verse 1: Mark Hockings]
Faithful
Nobody is faithful
Picking up the weakest
Watching every move

Madman
Everyone's a bad man
Feeding on the leanest
With everything to lose

[Chorus: Mark Hockings]
Reach out before you drown
The world is turning upside down
And you know
You've got to kill your darlings

Breathe in the hurricane
And we can start all over again
And you know
You've got to kill your darlings

[Verse 2: Mark Hockings]
Idol
Could be suicidal
Picking up the pieces
Stitching up the wounds
Faithless
Everybody's faithless
The legions of the faceless
Are tearing up the rules

[Chorus: Mark Hockings]
Reach out before you drown
The world is turning upside down
And you know
You've got to kill your darlings

Breathe in the hurricane
And we can start all over again
And you know
You've got to kill your darlings

[Bridge: Mark Hockings]
You can't beat them
You have to join them
You can't beat them
You have to join them
You can't beat them
You have to join them
You can't beat them
You have to join them
[Chorus: Mark Hockings]
Wake up and look around
Your house, it's burning to the ground
But you know
You've got to kill your darlings

[Bridge: Mark Hockings]
And you'll do whatever it takes
And you'll do whatever it takes
And you'll do whatever it takes

[Chorus: Mark Hockings]
Reach out before you drown
The world is turning upside down
And you know
You've got to kill your darlings

Breathe in the hurricane
And we can start all over again
And you know
You've got to kill your darlings

[Outro: Mark Hockings]
And you'll do whatever it takes
And you'll do whatever it takes
And you'll do whatever it takes
And you'll do whatever it takes
And you'll do whatever it takes
