Eminem - Darkness (8D)

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

(Hello darkness, my old friend)

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 it 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

That's a lot of shots, huh? (Double entendre)

(Hello darkness, my old friend)

And 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)

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 fuckin' 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 shit 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

But what if nobody shows?

Panic mode 'bout to snap and go motherfuckin' wacko at any second

'Bout to cancel the show, just as fans below rush the entrance

Plan is a go to wreck shit, cameras in all directions

The press is 'bout to go apeshit, bananas on all the networks

Commando with extra clips, I got ammo for all the hecklers

I'm armed to the teeth, 'nother Valium 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

Fuck 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 PM 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 Kaiser Soze

Finger on the trigger, but I'm a licensed owner

With no prior convictions, so law says sky's the limit

So my supplies infinite, strapped like I'm a soldier

Got 'em hopping over walls and climbing fences

Some of 'em John Travolta, stayin' alive by inches

(Hello darkness, my old friend)

Cops are knockin', oh, fuck, 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)

And 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)
