I am 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   Cause I would go turn you dark      The soldier that's jaded   Is the one who can't fight   There's too much evil in people   To hold a gun without crime   Everyday I get a feeling   That this love is a fake   Can't help myself being paranoid   How can I push them away?   They make me go dark      Now I'm blacker than black   I don't know my way back   I reach for a hand and they started to laugh   Don't see color no more   Coming straight from my soul   They put black in my bones   Told me to get on with the show   I caught myself from going dark      There's worse things than dieing   No, I don't stress about pain   But you've put a world on my shoulder   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 a 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   And everybody goes dark   And all you people going dark   The whole world just gets dark   The whole world just gets dark   Everybody goes dark
