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
