Darkness

[00:01.89] {Chorus}

[00:03.64] I don't wanna be alone, I don't wanna be

[00:06.14] I don't wanna be alone in the darkness

[00:09.39] I don't wanna be alone in the darkness

[00:12.64] I don't wanna be alone in the darkness anymore

[00:16.89] (Hello, darkness, my old friend)

[00:18.14] {Verse 1}

[00:18.39] Here I am, alone again

[00:19.64] Can't get out of this hole I'm in

[00:20.89] It's like the walls are closin' in

[00:22.89] You can't help me, no one can

[00:24.14] I can feel these curtains closin'

[00:25.89] I go to open 'em

[00:27.39] But something pulls 'em closed again

[00:29.14] (Hello, darkness, my old friend)

[00:31.14] Feels like I'm loathing in Las Vegas

[00:33.89] Haven't got the vaguest why I'm so lost

[00:36.14] But I'd make you this small wager

[00:38.14] If I bet you I'll be in tomorrow's paper

[00:40.64] Who would the odds favor?

[00:42.39] (Hello, darkness, my old friend)

[00:44.14] I'm so much like my father, you would think that I knew him

[00:46.89] I keep pacin' this room, Valium, then chase it with booze

[00:50.14] One little taste, it'll do

[00:52.14] Maybe I'll take it and snooze, then tear up the stage in a few

[00:54.64] (Hello, darkness, my old friend)

[00:56.89] Fuck the Colt 45, I'ma need somethin' stronger

[00:59.89] If I pop any caps, it better be off of vodka

[01:02.89] Round after round after round, I'm gettin' loaded (Haha)

[01:06.64] That's a lot of shots, huh? (Double entendre)

[01:09.39] (Hello, darkness, my old friend)

[01:10.39] {Chorus}

[01:10.64] And I don't wanna be alone in the darkness (Yeah)

[01:13.39] I don't wanna be alone in the darkness

[01:16.89] I don't wanna be alone in the darkness anymore

[01:19.14] (Hello, darkness, my old friend)

[01:21.64] {Verse 2}

[01:22.14] Now I'm starin' at the room service menu off a benzo

[01:25.14] I can hear the music continue to crescendo

[01:28.64] I can see the whole fuckin' venue from my window

[01:31.64] That's when you know you're schizo (Hello, darkness, my old friend)

[01:34.14] 'Cause I keep peekin' out the curtain from the hotel

[01:35.89] The music is so loud

[01:37.89] But it's almost as though I don't hear no sound

[01:40.39] I should get ready for the show now

[01:42.89] Wait, is this the whole crowd? I thought this shit was sold out

[01:45.64] (Hello, darkness, my old friend)

[01:47.64] But it's only the opening act, it's early, don't overreact

[01:50.64] Then something told me relax

[01:52.39] And just hope for the show to be packed

[01:54.14] Don't wanna hit the stage before they fill each row to the max

[01:57.14] 'Cause that'd be totally wack

[01:58.89] You can't murder a show nobody's at (Hello darkness, my old friend)

[02:01.64] But what if nobody shows? Panic mode

[02:03.64] 'Bout to snap and go motherfuckin' wacko at any second

[02:06.89] 'Bout to cancel the show just as fans below rush the entrance

[02:10.64] Plan is a go to wreck shit, cameras in all directions (Hello, darkness, my old friend)

[02:13.89] The press is 'bout to go ape shit, bananas on all the networks

[02:16.89] Commando with extra clips, I got ammo for all the hecklers

[02:20.14] I'm armed to the teeth, another Valium, fall off the bed

[02:23.39] Hit the ground and crawl to the dresser

[02:25.14] Alcohol on my breath as I reach for the scope

[02:27.89] I'm blackin' out, I'm all out of meds

[02:29.89] With them benzodiazepines gone

[02:31.39] Now it's just magazines sprawled out on the floor

[02:33.64] Fuck the media, I'm goin' all out, this is war

[02:37.14] (Hello, darkness, my old friend)

[02:38.89] {Chorus}

[02:39.89] And I don't wanna be alone in the darkness (Yeah)

[02:43.14] I don't wanna be alone in the darkness

[02:45.89] I don't wanna be alone in the darkness anymore (Hello, darkness, my old friend)

[02:50.14] {Verse 3}

[02:50.89] People start to show up, time to start the show up

[02:53.39] It's 10:05 PM and the curtain starts to go up

[02:56.89] And I'm already sweatin', but I'm locked and loaded

[02:59.89] For rapid fire spittin' for all the concert-goers

[03:03.14] Scopes for sniper vision, surprise from out of nowhere

[03:05.64] As I slide the clip in from inside the hotel

[03:09.64] Leanin' out the window, going Keyser Söze

[03:12.89] Finger on the trigger, but I'm a licensed owner

[03:16.39] With no prior convictions, so law says sky's the limit

[03:18.89] So my supply's infinite, strapped like I'm a soldier

[03:22.39] Got 'em hopping over walls and climbing fences

[03:25.39] Some of them John Travolta, staying alive by inches

[03:28.39] (Hello, darkness, my old friend)

[03:30.64] Cops are knockin', oh fuck, thought I blocked the entrance

[03:33.64] Guess show time is over

[03:35.39] No suicide note, just a note for target distance

[03:38.14] But if you'd like to know the reason why I did this

[03:43.14] You'll never find a motive, truth is I have no idea

[03:45.14] I am just as stumped, no signs of mental illness

[03:48.39] Just tryin' to show ya the reason why we're so fucked

[03:51.14] 'Cause by the time it's over, won't make the slightest difference

[03:54.39] (Hello, darkness, my old friend)

[03:56.39] {Chorus}

[03:56.89] And I don't wanna be alone in the darkness

[03:59.89] I don't wanna be alone in the darkness

[04:03.14] I don't wanna be alone in the darkness anymore

[04:07.39] (Hello, darkness, my old friend)
