Darkness Lyrics By Eminem

    i don’t wanna be alone i don’t wanna be
    i don’t wanna be alone in thedarkness
    idon’t wanna bealone in the darkness
    i don’t wannabe 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 haha
    that’s a lot of shots huh double entendre
    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
    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 peekin’ 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 hello darkness my old friend
    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 hello darkness my old friend
    the press is ’bout to go ape shit bananas on all the networks
    commando with extra clips i got ammo for all the hecklers
    i’m armed to the teeth another 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 hello darkness my old friend

    people start to show up time to start the show up
    it’s 005 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 concertgoers
    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 law says sky’s the limit
    so my supply’s infinite strapped like i’m a soldier
    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 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
