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 saw them 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 crying
everyday i get a feeling
that this love is a fake
can´t help myself being paranoid
how can i push them away?
they made 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
