I'm easily influenced
By other's dos and don'ts
How can they bring me up so high
Sink me down like 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 saw they'll 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 crying
Everyday I get a feeling
That this love is a fake
Can't help myself being paranoid
I can't help 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 colour no more
Colour drained from my soul
They put black in my bones
Told me to get on with the show
I cut myself up good and dark
There are worse things than dying
No, I don't stress about pain
But you put a world on my shoulders
Took my colour 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 colour 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
