Darkness

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