about

Kill Your Darlings is another from my nihilistic phase and the title is of course the famous quote from the US novelist William Faulkner, who died the day I was born, but whom I’ve never been able to get into…The lyrics were written on B wing HMP Liverpool in 2012, the moral of the story is don’t get too attached to your characters...

lyrics

We made you
Betrayed you
Fucked up
And then mislaid you

In here now
It’s clear how
It ends
sometime around here

Heartacres, Ballbreakers
Homemakers, Kill your darlings

Split hair triggers
Lowlife liggers
Klu Klux niggers
Kill your darlings

They fill you
Instil in you
The triumph of their will

Drive nowhere
Through thin air
Work, shop, school
And back again

The rat race
Fills blank space
The boot forever
Stamping your face

The war on you morons
Terror drugs maim your children
They serve you
Unnerve you
You get the cunts
That deserve you

They pay you
Enslave you
Bribe and then
Disembrain you

Dogwalkers, Celebrity stalkers
Credit default hawkers
Kill your Darlings

Self haters, collaborators
Your fate just ate us
Fill your darlings

Who cares about it
Unfair you shout it

Don’t laugh about
Go mad about it
Be sad about it

Kill your darlings

Insaners, ingrainers
This band mere entertainers
Kill your darlings…
