I don’t wanna be aloneI don’t wanna be
I don’t wanna be aloneIn the darknessI don’t wanna be aloneIn the darknessI don’t wanna be aloneIn the darkness anymore
Here I am, alone againCan’t get out of this hole I’m inIt’s like the walls are closin’ inYou can’t help me, no one canI can feel these curtains closin’I go to open ’emBut something pulls ’em closed again(Hello darkness, my old friend)
Feels like I’m loathing in Las VegasHaven’t got the vaguest, why I’m so lost?But I’d make you this small wagerIf I bet you, I’ll be in tomorrow’s paperWho would the odds favor?(Hello darkness, my old friend)
I’m so much like my fatherYou would think that I knew himI keep pacin’ this room, ValiumThen chase it with boozeOne little taste it’ll doMaybe I’ll take and snoozeThen tear up the stage in a few(Hello darkness, my old friend)
Fuck the Colt 45, I’ma need somethin’ strongerIf I pop any caps, it better be off of vodkaRound after round after roundI’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 darknessI don’t wanna be alone in the darkness anymore(Hello darkness my old friend)
Now I’m starin’ at the roomService menu off a BenzoI can hear the musicContinue to crescendoI can see the whole venue from my windowThat’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 loudBut it’s almost as thoughI don’t hear no soundI should get ready for the show nowWait, is this the whole crowd?I thought this was sold out(Hello darkness my old friend)
But it’s only the opening actIt’s early don’t overreactThen something told me, relaxAnd just hope for the show to be packedDon’t wanna hit the stageBefore they fill each row to the max‘Cause that’d be totally wackYou can’t murder a show nobody’s at (hello darkness my old friend)
But what if nobody shows?Panic mode, ’bout to snap and goMother- wacko at any second‘Bout to cancel the showJust as fans below rush the entrancePlan 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 networksCommando with extra clipsI got ammo for all the hecklersI’m armed to the teethAnother – fall off the bedHit the ground and crawl to the dresserAlcohol on my breath as I reach for the scope
I’m blackin’ out I’m all out of medsWith them Benzodiazepines goneNow it’s just magazines sprawled out on the floorOff the mediaI’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 darknessI don’t wanna be alone in the darkness anymore
People start to show upTime to start the show upIt’s 10:05 p.m. andThe curtain starts to go upAnd I’m already sweatin’But I’m locked and loadedFor rapid fire spittin’For all the concert goersScopes for sniper vision
Surprise from out of nowhereAs I slide the clip inFrom inside the hotelLeanin’ out the windowGoing Keyser SözeFinger on the triggerBut I’m a licensed ownerWith no prior convictions
So lost, the sky’s the limitSo my supplies infiniteStrapped like I’m a soliderGot ’em hopping overWalls and climbing fencesSome of them John TravoltaStaying alive by inches (hello darkness my old friend)
Cops are knockin’, oh-Thought I blocked the entranceGuess show time is overNo suicide noteJust a note for target distanceBut if you’d like to knowThe reason why I did thisYou’ll never find a motive
Truth is I have no ideaI am just as stumpedNo signs of mental illnessJust tryin’ to show yaThe reason why we’re so fucked‘Cause by the time it’s overWon’t make the slightest difference(Hello darkness my old friend)
I don’t wanna be alone in the darknessI don’t wanna be alone in the darknessI don’t wanna be alone in the darkness anymore(Hello darkness my old friend)
