Darkness
[00:03.19] I don't wanna be alone, I don't wanna be
[00:06.44] I don't wanna be alone in the darkness
[00:09.72] I don't wanna be alone in the darkness
[00:12.94] I don't wanna be alone in the darkness anymore
[00:17.18] (Hello, darkness, my old friend)
[00:00.00] Here I am, alone again
[00:00.00] Can't get out of this hole I'm in
[00:00.00] It's like the walls are closin' in
[00:00.00] You can't help me, no one can
[00:00.00] I can feel these curtains closin'
[00:00.00] I go to open 'em
[00:00.00] But something pulls 'em closed again
[00:00.00] (Hello, darkness, my old friend)
[00:00.00] Feels like I'm loathing in Las Vegas
[00:00.00] Haven't got the vaguest why I'm so lost
[00:00.00] But I'd make you this small wager
[00:00.00] If I bet you I'll be in tomorrow's paper
[00:00.00] Who would the odds favor?
[00:00.00] (Hello, darkness, my old friend)
[00:00.00] I'm so much like my father, you would think that I knew him
[00:00.00] I keep pacin' this room, Valium, then chase it with booze
[00:00.00] One little taste, it'll do
[00:00.00] Maybe I'll take it and snooze, then tear up the stage in a few
[00:00.00] (Hello, darkness, my old friend)
[00:00.00] Fuck the Colt 45, I'ma need somethin' stronger
[00:00.00] If I pop any caps, it better be off of vodka
[00:00.00] Round after round after round, I'm gettin' loaded (Haha)
[00:00.00] That's a lot of shots, huh? (Double entendre)
[00:00.00] (Hello, darkness, my old friend)
[00:00.00] And I don't wanna be alone in the darkness (Yeah)
[00:00.00] I don't wanna be alone in the darkness
[00:00.00] I don't wanna be alone in the darkness anymore
[00:00.00] (Hello, darkness, my old friend)
[00:00.00] Now I'm starin' at the room service menu off a benzo
[00:00.00] I can hear the music continue to crescendo
[00:00.00] I can see the whole fuckin' venue from my window
[00:00.00] That's when you know you're schizo (Hello, darkness, my old friend)
[00:00.00] 'Cause I keep peekin' out the curtain from the hotel
[00:00.00] The music is so loud
[00:00.00] But it's almost as though I don't hear no sound
[00:00.00] I should get ready for the show now
[00:00.00] Wait, is this the whole crowd? I thought this shit was sold out
[00:00.00] (Hello, darkness, my old friend)
[00:00.00] But it's only the opening act, it's early, don't overreact
[00:00.00] Then something told me relax
[00:00.00] And just hope for the show to be packed
[00:00.00] Don't wanna hit the stage before they fill each row to the max
[00:00.00] 'Cause that'd be totally wack
[00:00.00] You can't murder a show nobody's at (Hello darkness, my old friend)
[00:00.00] But what if nobody shows? Panic mode
[00:00.00] 'Bout to snap and go motherfuckin' wacko at any second
[00:00.00] 'Bout to cancel the show just as fans below rush the entrance
[00:00.00] Plan is a go to wreck shit, cameras in all directions (Hello, darkness, my old friend)
[00:00.00] The press is 'bout to go ape shit, bananas on all the networks
[00:00.00] Commando with extra clips, I got ammo for all the hecklers
[00:00.00] I'm armed to the teeth, another Valium, fall off the bed
[00:00.00] Hit the ground and crawl to the dresser
[00:00.00] Alcohol on my breath as I reach for the scope
[00:00.00] I'm blackin' out, I'm all out of meds
[00:00.00] With them benzodiazepines gone
[00:00.00] Now it's just magazines sprawled out on the floor
[00:00.00] Fuck the media, I'm goin' all out, this is war
[00:00.00] (Hello, darkness, my old friend)
[00:00.00] And I don't wanna be alone in the darkness (Yeah)
[00:00.00] I don't wanna be alone in the darkness
[00:00.00] I don't wanna be alone in the darkness anymore (Hello, darkness, my old friend)
[00:00.00] People start to show up, time to start the show up
[00:00.00] It's 10:05 PM and the curtain starts to go up
[00:00.00] And I'm already sweatin', but I'm locked and loaded
[00:00.00] For rapid fire spittin' for all the concert-goers
[00:00.00] Scopes for sniper vision, surprise from out of nowhere
[00:00.00] As I slide the clip in from inside the hotel
[00:00.00] Leanin' out the window, going Keyser Söze
[00:00.00] Finger on the trigger, but I'm a licensed owner
[00:00.00] With no prior convictions, so law says sky's the limit
[00:00.00] So my supply's infinite, strapped like I'm a soldier
[00:00.00] Got 'em hopping over walls and climbing fences
[00:00.00] Some of them John Travolta, staying alive by inches
[00:00.00] (Hello, darkness, my old friend)
[00:00.00] Cops are knockin', oh fuck, thought I blocked the entrance
[00:00.00] Guess show time is over
[00:00.00] No suicide note, just a note for target distance
[00:00.00] But if you'd like to know the reason why I did this
[00:00.00] You'll never find a motive, truth is I have no idea
[00:00.00] I am just as stumped, no signs of mental illness
[00:00.00] Just tryin' to show ya the reason why we're so fucked
[00:00.00] 'Cause by the time it's over, won't make the slightest difference
[00:00.00] (Hello, darkness, my old friend)
[00:00.00] And I don't wanna be alone in the darkness
[00:00.00] I don't wanna be alone in the darkness
[00:00.00] I don't wanna be alone in the darkness anymore
