Darkness

[00:03.34] I don't wanna be alone, I don't wanna be
[00:06.49] I don't wanna be alone in the darkness
[00:09.59] I don't wanna be alone in the darkness
[00:12.93] I don't wanna be alone in the darkness anymore (hello, darkness, my old friend)
[00:18.10] Here I am, alone again
[00:19.46] Can't get out of this hole I'm in
[00:21.19] It's like the walls are closin' in
[00:23.07] You can't help me, no one can
[00:24.59] I can feel these curtains closin', I go to open 'em
[00:27.74] But something pulls 'em closed again
[00:29.20] (Hello, darkness, my old friend)
[00:32.11] Feels like I'm loathing in Las Vegas
[00:34.20] Haven't got the vaguest why I'm so lost
[00:36.71] But I'd make you this small wager
[00:38.52] If I bet you I'll be in tomorrow's paper
[00:40.90] Who would the odds favor?
[00:42.43] (Hello, darkness, my old friend)
[00:44.25] I'm so much like my father, you would think that I knew him
[00:47.00] I keep pacin' this room, V-, then chase it with booze
[00:50.32] One little taste, it'll do
[00:51.92] Maybe I'll take it and snooze, then tear up the stage in a few
[00:55.05] (Hello, darkness, my old friend)
[00:56.82] F- the Colt 45, I'ma need somethin' stronger
[00:59.96] If I pop any caps, it better be off of vodka
[01:03.50] Round after round after round, I'm gettin' loaded (haha)
[01:06.69] That's a lot of shots, huh? (Double entendre)
[01:08.26] (Hello, darkness, my old friend)
[01:10.38] And I don't wanna be alone in the darkness (yeah)
[01:13.59] I don't wanna be alone in the darkness
[01:16.85] I don't wanna be alone in the darkness anymore
[01:20.74] (Hello, darkness, my old friend)
[01:22.14] Now I'm starin' at the room service menu off a benzo
[01:25.24] I can hear the music continue to crescendo
[01:28.44] I can see the whole f- venue from my window
[01:31.78] That's when you know you're schizo (hello, darkness, my old friend)
[01:33.64] 'Cause I keep peekin' out the curtain from the hotel
[01:37.01] The music is so loud
[01:38.07] But it's almost as though I don't hear no sound
[01:40.92] I should get ready for the show now
[01:43.02] Wait, is this the whole crowd? I thought this sh- was sold out
[01:46.14] (Hello, darkness, my old friend)
[01:47.96] But it's only the opening act, it's early, don't overreact
[01:50.87] Then something told me relax
[01:52.49] And just hope for the show to be packed
[01:54.28] Don't wanna hit the stage before they fill each row to the max
[01:57.42] 'Cause that'd be totally wack
[01:58.92] You can't murder a show nobody's at (hello, darkness, my old friend)
[02:01.88] But what if nobody shows? Panic mode
[02:04.18] 'Bout to snap and go motherf- wacko at any second
[02:07.50] 'Bout to cancel the show just as fans below rush the entrance
[02:10.90] Plan is a go to wreck sh-, cameras in all directions (hello, darkness, my old friend)
[02:14.06] The press is 'bout to go ape sh-, bananas on all the networks
[02:17.13] Commando with extra clips, I got ammo for all the hecklers
[02:20.56] I'm armed to the teeth, another V-, fall off the bed
[02:23.42] Hit the ground and crawl to the dresser
[02:25.05] Alcohol on my breath as I reach for the scope (hello darkness, my old friend)
[02:27.95] I'm blackin' out, I'm all out of meds
[02:29.88] With them benzodiazepines gone
[02:31.67] Now it's just magazines sprawled out on the floor
[02:34.26] F- the media, I'm goin' all out, this is war
[02:37.68] (Hello, darkness, my old friend)
[02:40.26] And I don't wanna be alone in the darkness (yeah)
[02:43.62] I don't wanna be alone in the darkness
[02:46.51] I don't wanna be alone in the darkness anymore (hello, darkness, my old friend)
[02:50.55] People start to show up, time to start the show up
[02:53.94] It's 10:05 p.m. and the curtain starts to go up
[02:57.38] And I'm already sweatin', but I'm locked and loaded
[03:00.25] For rapid fire spittin' for all the concert-goers
[03:03.39] Scopes for sniper vision, surprise from out of nowhere
[03:06.52] As I slide the clip in from inside the hotel
[03:09.78] Leanin' out the window, going Keyser Söze
[03:13.23] Finger on the trigger, but I'm a licensed owner
[03:16.28] With no prior convictions, so law says sky's the limit
[03:19.25] So my supply's infinite, strapped like I'm a soldier
[03:22.63] Got 'em hopping over walls and climbing fences
[03:25.67] Some of them John Travolta, staying alive by inches
[03:29.07] (Hello, darkness, my old friend)
[03:30.85] Cops are knockin', oh f-, thought I blocked the entrance
[03:33.76] Guess show time is over
[03:35.36] No suicide note, just a note for target distance
[03:38.55] But if you'd like to know the reason why I did this
[03:41.56] You'll never find a motive, truth is I have no idea
[03:45.42] I am just as stumped, no signs of mental illness
[03:48.59] Just tryin' to show ya the reason why we're so f-
[03:51.43] 'Cause by the time it's over, won't make the slightest difference
[03:54.35] (Hello, darkness, my old friend)
[03:57.04] And I don't wanna be alone in the darkness
[04:00.18] I don't wanna be alone in the darkness
[04:03.13] I don't wanna be alone in the darkness anymore
