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
is the one who can't fight
there's too much evil in people
to hold a gun without crime
can't help myself being paranoid
how can i push them away?
now i'm blacker than black
i reach for a hand and they started to laugh
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
i don't stress about pain
but you've put a world on my shoulder
so you're blacker than black
and you won't know your way back
and i'll laugh like you laughed
but you'll feel black in your soul
i'll get on with the show
and leave you out in the cold
and all you people going dark
the whole world just gets dark
the whole world just gets dark
