You said "Just drink it up"
I've got no future
I know my days are few
The present's not so pleasant
Just a lot of things to do
I thought the past would last me
But the darkness got that too
instrumental verse 
I should have seen it coming
It was right behind your eyes
You were young and it was summer
I just had to take a dive
Winning you was easy
But the darkness was the prize
I don't smoke no cigarette
I don't drink no alcohol
I ain't had much loving yet
But that's always been your call
I don't miss it baby
I got no taste for anything at all
I used to love the rainbow
And I used to love the view
I love the early morning
I pretend that it was new
But I caught the darkness, baby
And I got it worse than you
instrumental verse 
I caught the darkness
It was drinking from your cup
I caught the darknes
Drinking from your cup
I said is this contagious?
You said "Just drink it up"
