I don't want to see the darkness fall People turning into nothing at all They're always creeping up into my mind And discovering all my crimes And the big thing is never letting them go I don't need to see a flag unfurl No one smiles in a faceless world I'm hearing everybody scream and shout No one's ever gonna figure it out And the big thing is always slashing their throats See the people walking down below Not a single one you'll ever know They're looking into the face of fear None of them are ever getting out of here Yeah, the big thing is never letting them go There's no big mystery Just made-up history I see you're thinking what you need now What to leave out Oh, big thing Oh, big thing Oh, big thing Oh, big thing
