about

"No will. No need. No responsibility. What is there to want now that we have the world? What about the people? People? Are they not all well? What we have here. Is bliss."

lyrics

What we've got here
Is a cesspool of society that had to go down.
What we've got here.
Isn't that what you always wanted.
What we've got here.
Is delusion of a majesty that couldn't be real.
What we've got here.

You've lost your fear.
If that was all that was wrong, maybe we could go home.
You've lost your care.
If that was all that was going on, then we'd know.
You've lost all fear.
If that was all that was wrong, maybe we could find home.
You've lost all care.
If that was all that was wrong.

You made it clear.
Nothing like pride to set a land on fire.
You've lost your fear.
Isn't that how you soothe all the creatures you made.
Steel hearts won't cry.
Won't feel wont' fear.
Steel hearts won't cry.
Won't feel won't fear.

You've lost your fear.
If that was all that was wrong, maybe we could go home.
You've lost all care.
If that was all that was going on, then we'd know.
You've lost your fear.
If that was all that was wrong, maybe we could find home.
You've lost your care.
If that was all that was wrong.

Oh, don't you just dig this despair, yeah.

You've lost your fear.
If that was all that was wrong, maybe we could go home.
You've lost your care.
If that was all that was going on, then we'd know.
You've lost your fear.
If that was all that was wrong, maybe we could find home.
You've lost all care.
If that was all that was wrong.

You've lost your fear.
If that was all that was wrong, maybe we could find home.
You've lost your care.
If that was all that was going on, then we'd know.
You've lost all fear.
If that was all that was wrong, maybe we could find home.
You've lost all care.
If that was all that was wrong.

(What we've got here)

And you can't see yourself through a mirror darkly cause everything it shows is a lie.
And you can't run away through a mirror darkly cause there is no other side.
And you can't feel your way through a mirror darkly cause steel hearts won't cry.
And you can't fly away, you can't fly.

(What we've got here.)

You've lost your fear.
If that was all that was wrong, maybe we could go home.
You've lost your care.
If that was all that was going on, then we'd know.
You've lost your fear.
If that was all that was wrong, maybe we could find home.
You've lost your care.
If that was all that was wrong.

(What we've got here.)
