In this blackout, inertia will hold our thoughts...

And the exit sign offers no light to see by

Can we cast our shadows alone in the dark?

Giving up on hope,

Living without love.

Adjust the aperture to focus on the negative..

Like phosphors in the darkroom ignite.

Frame by frame, this hole is opening up. ... and we fall in.
