Darkness

[00:03.72] I don't wanna be alone, I don't wanna be

[00:06.48] I don't wanna be alone in the darkness

[00:09.49] I don't wanna be alone in the darkness

[00:12.76] I don't wanna be alone in the darkness anymore

[00:17.53] (Hello darkness, my old friend)

[00:19.03] Here I am, alone again

[00:20.53] Can't get out of this hole I'm in

[00:21.29] It's like the walls are closin' in

[00:23.04] You can't help me, no one can

[00:24.55] I can feel these curtains closin'

[00:26.55] I go to open 'em

[00:27.81] But something pulls 'em closed again

[00:29.31] (Hello darkness, my old friend)

[00:32.32] Feels like I'm loathing in Las Vegas

[00:33.82] Haven't got the vaguest why I'm so lost

[00:36.33] But I'd make you this small wager

[00:37.83] If I bet you I'll be in tomorrow's paper

[00:40.84] Who would the odds favor?

[00:42.60] (Hello darkness, my old friend)

[00:44.86] I'm so much like my father, you would think that I knew him

[00:47.12] I keep pacin' this room, Valium

[00:48.62] Then chase it with booze, one little taste it'll do

[00:51.14] Maybe I'll take it and snooze, then tear up the stage in a few

[00:55.15] (Hello darkness, my old friend)

[00:57.15] Fuck the Colt 45, I'ma need somethin' stronger

[00:59.92] If I pop any caps, it better be off of vodka

[01:02.67] Round after round after round, I'm gettin' loaded

[01:06.18] That's a lot of shots, huh? (Double entendre)

[01:09.44] (Hello darkness, my old friend)

[01:10.69] And I don't wanna be alone in the darkness

[01:13.70] I don't wanna be alone in the darkness

[01:16.96] I don't wanna be alone in the darkness anymore

[01:21.23] (Hello darkness, my old friend)

[01:22.49] Now I'm starin' at the room service menu off a Benzo

[01:25.25] I can hear the music continue to crescendo

[01:28.51] I can see the whole fuckin' venue from my window

[01:31.52] That's when you know you're schizo

[01:35.53] (Hello darkness, my old friend)

[01:36.03] 'Cause I keep peakin' out the curtain from the hotel

[01:36.78] The music is so loud, but it's almost as though

[01:38.54] I don't hear no sound, I should get ready for the show now

[01:43.30] Wait is this the whole crowd? I thought this shit was sold out

[01:46.31] (Hello darkness, my old friend)

[01:48.32] But it's only the opening act, it's early, don't overreact

[01:50.57] Then something told me relax and just hope for the show to be packed

[01:54.09] Don't wanna hit the stage before they fill each row to the max

[01:57.35] 'Cause that'd be totally wack, you can't murder a show nobody's at

[02:01.36] But what if nobody shows?

[02:03.37] Panic mode 'bout to snap and go motherfuckin' wacko at any second

[02:07.39] 'Bout to cancel the show, just as fans below rush the entrance

[02:10.90] Plan is a go to wreck shit, cameras in all directions

[02:14.16] The press is 'bout to go apeshit, bananas on all the networks

[02:17.17] Commando with extra clips, I got ammo for all the hecklers

[02:20.44] I'm armed to the teeth, 'nother Valium fall off the bed

[02:23.45] Hit the ground and crawl to the dresser

[02:25.45] Alcohol on my breath as I reach for the Scope

[02:27.21] I'm blackin' out, I'm all out of meds

[02:30.72] With them benzodiazepines gone

[02:32.48] Now it's just magazines sprawled out on the floor

[02:34.49] Fuck the media, I'm goin' all out, this is war

[02:37.00] (Hello darkness, my old friend)

[02:40.25] And I don't wanna be alone in the darkness (yeah)

[02:43.26] I don't wanna be alone in the darkness

[02:46.28] I don't wanna be alone in the darkness anymore

[02:51.04] People start to show up, time to start the show up

[02:53.55] It's 10:05 PM and the curtain starts to go up

[02:56.81] And I'm already sweatin' but I'm locked and loaded

[03:00.08] For rapid fire spittin' for all the concert-goers

[03:03.09] Scopes for sniper vision, surprise from out of nowhere

[03:06.10] As I slide the clip in from inside the hotel

[03:09.86] Leanin' out the window, going Kaiser Soze

[03:12.87] Finger on the trigger, but I'm a licensed owner

[03:16.13] With no prior convictions, so law says sky's the limit

[03:19.14] So my supplies infinite, strapped like I'm a soldier

[03:22.15] Got 'em hopping over walls and climbing fences

[03:25.41] Some of 'em John Travolta, stayin' alive by inches

[03:28.42] (Hello darkness, my old friend)

[03:30.68] Cops are knockin', oh, fuck, thought I blocked the entrance

[03:33.44] Guess show time is over, no suicide note

[03:36.70] Just a note for target distance

[03:39.21] But if you'd like to know the reason why I did this

[03:41.71] You'll never find a motive, truth is I have no idea

[03:44.48] I am just as stumped, no signs of mental illness

[03:48.24] Just tryin' to show ya the reason why we're so fucked

[03:52.75] 'Cause by the time it's over, won't make the slightest difference

[03:55.50] (Hello darkness, my old friend)

[03:57.01] And I don't wanna be alone in the darkness

[03:59.76] I don't wanna be alone in the darkness
