Darkness Remix by Eric West Lyrics
[Chorus]
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
Anymore
(Hello darkness my old friend)
[Verse 1]
You echo in my head space, I think you laid a curse
Staring at the ceiling, imagining ya curves
And my hands running through them, and I don't know what's worse
The fact I'm overeating, or throwing up at work
I don't cope like y'all do, I can't just pop a perk
I hate liquor so I sit there and let it hurt
I feel my world spinning as I lay in the Earth
Unhealthy coping habits, but I'm way too immersed
One day I'm not eating but got energy in bursts
Next week I stuff my face, I got my just desserts
Feel more helpless than a grandma when you snatch her purse
My insecurities they sit there and they lurk
On the inside I'm crying, but I look unconcerned
I walk just like a soldier, no wonder I'm reserved
The weeks are zooming by, and everything's a blur
If I'm losing my values then how could I have self worth?
Im spending so reckless, I don't care about the price
Do you need a body bag while you're checking out on life?
I have nothing left, and I know this isn't right
But I might go Danny Phantom til I'm a ghost in the night
At least that's what I wanna write
But I think I'll get better soon so I'm clinging with all my might
Write my songs in the dark, there's no comfort in the light
You just get outta bed, I gotta put up a fight
[Chorus]
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)
[Verse 2]
My very grasp on life is slowly becoming loose
I know I said a million times but I don't know what to do
My health vs my mind I hide all of my truths
But they physically manifest and every day I wanna puke
The support comes to a slow, my last project just flopped
I lock myself up at home, my motivation straight drops
Over reacting, I know, don't get dragged like a mop
But this is just how I cope, don't know how to make it stop
And I'm arguably Far off from complete
Kind to the undeserving wear my heart on a sleeve
Samuel Jackson with the serpents they all hopping on me
They stomp on me, defeat
They walk on me with cleats
Im wobbly and weak
While I'm coughing they keep
On bombarding me
As it gets harder to breathe
All of my left and right lungs' oxygen leaves
Will I end up like child art? A bunch of chalk on the street?
And if you resonate, oh god does it sting
This is all equivocal to a dodgeball to the teeth
Let the fear and doubt in me take control predominantly
So when you ask if I'm alright I speak fraudulently
Like a random black boy outside of a Wal-Mart
Who's catching an arm bar on top of a cop car
When he ain't got any heat
They all targeting me
Its all obvious to me
And y'all probably see
I'm like Lillard when he raps, the all star of these beats
Servant without a purpose
A Wash cloth in the street
I rap bout wanting comfort, like y'all not talking to me
The weight that it seems to have upon my conscious is deep
But I self isolate, Im a paradox I agree
But I don't wanna be alone, like the chorus I speak
To anyone like me who's feeling awfully weak
This stuff is too sadistic, we all gotta freaks
[Chorus]
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)
[Verse 3]
I have this recurring dream where I get thrown into these mazes
And I watch monsters rip apart these people with no faces
And I get tortured til I wake up cuz there's no means of escaping
Even in my sleep I face impossible situations
Sometimes I think that I just wanna move real far away
Just far enough that nobody possibly knows my name
Cuz this place was where we...and that's where we used to hang
Every place I go is a reminder of some pain
I'm a forgotten grave meant only for worms to feed
So even in death I give all while there's no one to service me
When it rains it pours life operates mercilessly
Girl I considered my sister is done with me personally
Is life really worth it? Is life really worth it?
Another girl I called sister is bed written terminally
And nothing can make her better, not even a surgery
My chosen family dying and that really hurts to see
Her bodies catching up cuz she been died internally
She planned to be there when I've got a kid in a nursery
She was sipping that liquor which activates her disease
And so like that I just lost both of my sister permanently
Said is life really worth it? Is life really worth it?
Things around me are drowning I'm tryna keep us a surface
Juggling all these things but I don't work for a circus
It all falls onto me like when Eve spoke to the serpent
One thing after the next and its been this way for like 4 weeks
My big brother just died and left his momma by her lonely
I want it all to get better and I sit here just hoping
Dante I hope that you're in heaven balling with Gigi and Kobe
[Hook]
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)
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
Anymore
