I'm easily influenced By others dos and don'ts How can they bring me up so high To sink me down like a stone I'm flirting with a nation Who wants to see me destroyed All the things they give to me Are things that I should avoid I saw them turn you dark
The only soldier that's jaded Is the one who can't fight Saw too much evil in people To hold a gun without cryin' Everyday I get a feeling That this love is a fake Can't help myself being paranoid I gotta push them away They made me go dark
Now I'm blacker than black And I don't know my way back I reached for a hand And they started to laugh Don't see color no more Color drained from my soul They put black in my bones Told me to get on with that show I cut myself from going dark
There're worse things than dying No I don't stress about pain But you put a world on my shoulders You took my color away I hope you get dark
So you're blacker than black And you won't know your way back You'll reach for my hand And I'll laugh like you laughed Won't see color no more But you'll feel black in your soul I'll get on with the show And leave you out in the cold
I made you go dark Then everybody goes dark And all you people going dark The whole world just gets dark The whole world just gets dark Everybody goes dark
