Darkness

[00:03.00] I don't wanna be alone, I don't wanna be
[00:06.44] I don't wanna be alone in the darkness
[00:09.54] I don't wanna be alone in the darkness
[00:12.70] I don't wanna be alone in the darkness anymore
[00:16.36] (Hello darkness, my old friend)
[00:17.74] Here I am, alone again
[00:19.09] Can't get out of this hole I'm in
[00:20.70] It's like the walls are closin' in
[00:22.25] You can't help me, no one can
[00:23.86] I can feel these curtains closin'
[00:25.61] I go to open 'em
[00:26.93] But something pulls 'em closed again
[00:28.82] (Hello darkness, my old friend)
[00:31.59] Feels like I'm loathing in Las Vegas
[00:33.74] Haven't got the vaguest why I'm so lost
[00:36.20] But I'd make you this small wager
[00:37.92] If I bet you I'll be in tomorrow's paper
[00:40.26] Who would the odds favor?
[00:41.84] (Hello darkness, my old friend)
[00:44.00] I'm so much like my father, you would think that I knew him
[00:46.89] I keep pacin' this room, Valium
[00:48.83] Then chase it with booze, one little taste it'll do
[00:51.41] Maybe I'll take it and snooze, then tear up the stage in a few
[00:54.93] (Hello darkness, my old friend)
[00:56.95] Fuck the Colt 45, I'ma need somethin' stronger
[00:59.93] If I pop any caps, it better be off of vodka
[01:03.14] Round after round after round, I'm gettin' loaded
[01:06.84] That's a lot of shots, huh? (Double entendre)
[01:08.03] (Hello darkness, my old friend)
[01:10.10] And I don't wanna be alone in the darkness
[01:13.63] I don't wanna be alone in the darkness
[01:16.87] I don't wanna be alone in the darkness anymore
[01:20.41] (Hello darkness, my old friend)
[01:21.64] Now I'm starin' at the room service menu off a Benzo
[01:24.94] I can hear the music continue to crescendo
[01:28.14] I can see the whole fuckin' venue from my window
[01:31.17] That's when you know you're schizo
[01:33.04] (Hello darkness, my old friend)
[01:33.76] 'Cause I keep peakin' out the curtain from the hotel
[01:36.23] The music is so loud, but it's almost as though
[01:39.22] I don't hear no sound, I should get ready for the show now
[01:42.63] Wait is this the whole crowd? I thought this shit was sold out
[01:45.76] (Hello darkness, my old friend)
[01:47.23] But it's only the opening act, it's early, don't overreact
[01:51.00] Then something told me relax and just hope for the show to be packed
[01:54.06] Don't wanna hit the stage before they fill each row to the max
[01:57.09] 'Cause that'd be totally wack, you can't murder a show nobody's at
[02:01.15] But what if nobody shows?
[02:03.13] Panic mode 'bout to snap and go motherfuckin' wacko at any second
[02:07.25] 'Bout to cancel the show, just as fans below rush the entrance
[02:10.56] Plan is a go to wreck shit, cameras in all directions
[02:13.74] The press is 'bout to go apeshit, bananas on all the networks
[02:16.83] Commando with extra clips, I got ammo for all the hecklers
[02:20.10] I'm armed to the teeth, 'nother Valium fall off the bed
[02:23.14] Hit the ground and crawl to the dresser
[02:24.89] Alcohol on my breath as I reach for the Scope
[02:27.58] I'm blackin' out, I'm all out of meds
[02:29.64] With them benzodiazepines gone
[02:31.64] Now it's just magazines sprawled out on the floor
[02:33.89] Fuck the media, I'm goin' all out, this is war
[02:36.90] (Hello darkness, my old friend)
[02:40.03] And I don't wanna be alone in the darkness (yeah)
[02:42.97] I don't wanna be alone in the darkness
[02:46.22] I don't wanna be alone in the darkness anymore
[02:50.32] People start to show up, time to start the show up
[02:53.43] It's 10:05 PM and the curtain starts to go up
[02:56.53] And I'm already sweatin' but I'm locked and loaded
[02:59.81] For rapid fire spittin' for all the concert-goers
[03:02.86] Scopes for sniper vision, surprise from out of nowhere
[03:06.29] As I slide the clip in from inside the hotel
[03:09.23] Leanin' out the window, going Kaiser Soze
[03:12.59] Finger on the trigger, but I'm a licensed owner
[03:15.49] With no prior convictions, so law says sky's the limit
[03:18.63] So my supplies infinite, strapped like I'm a soldier
[03:21.73] Got 'em hopping over walls and climbing fences
[03:25.02] Some of 'em John Travolta, stayin' alive by inches
[03:28.15] (Hello darkness, my old friend)
[03:30.21] Cops are knockin', oh, fuck, thought I blocked the entrance
[03:33.08] Guess show time is over, no suicide note
[03:36.11] Just a note for target distance
[03:38.12] But if you'd like to know the reason why I did this
[03:41.19] You'll never find a motive, truth is I have no idea
[03:44.54] I am just as stumped, no signs of mental illness
[03:47.59] Just tryin' to show ya the reason why we're so fucked
[03:50.67] 'Cause by the time it's over, won't make the slightest difference
[03:53.88] (Hello darkness, my old friend)
[03:56.91] And I don't wanna be alone in the darkness
[03:59.75] I don't wanna be alone in the darkness
[04:03.04] I don't wanna be alone in the darkness anymore
