Darkness

I caught the darkness

It was drinking from your cup

I caught the darkness

Drinking from your cup

I said, "Is this contagious?"

You said, "Just drink it up."

I've got no future

I know my days are few

The presemt's, not that pleasant

Just a lot of things to do

I thought the past would last me

But the darkness got there too.

I should've seen it coming

It was red behind your eyes

You're young and it was summer

I just had to take a dive

Winning you was easy

But darkness was the price.

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

Another early morning

I pretend that it was new

But I caught the darkness, baby

And I got it worse than you.

I caught the darkness

It was drinking from your cup

I caught the darkness

Drinking from your cup

I said, "Is this contagious?"

You said, "Just drink it up."
