  (ALEX, JACK, ZACK, and RIAN walk on stage in front of a door. A spotlight shines on them.)


Rian: This is the place, although I'm starting to think that kid pranked us.


Alex: I trust him, come on let's go inside.


(Zack opens the door. Black lights shine on the stage revealing a black light party.)


Jack: Hey, uh, we're looking for "The Kids in the Dark".


Kid in the Dark: All of us here are the Kids in the Dark.


(A KID IN THE DARK takes a fluorescent marker and writes on the band member's shirts.)


(ALEX's shirt says "KIDS", JACK's says "IN", RIAN's says "THE", and ZACK's says "DARK")


Kid in the Dark: Enjoy the party, and escape.


Alex: Can we play you a song?


Kid in the Dark: Sure, we have instruments over there.


(A KID IN THE DARK points to some instruments)

HERE WE ARE, AT THE END OF THE ROAD- A ROAD THAT'S
QUIETLY CAVING IN. COME TOO FAR TO PRETEND THAT WE DON'T-
WE DON'T MISS WHERE WE STARTED. LOOKING BACK, I SEE A SETTING SUN,
AND WATCH MY SHADOW FADE INTO THE FLOOR. I AM LEFT STANDING ON
THE EDGE WONDERING HOW WE GOT THIS FAR.
                                 Rian, Jack, and Zack
(HOW WE GOT THIS FAR)
                                                       All
THEY LEFT US ALONE, THE KIDS IN THE DARK, TO BURN OUT
FOREVER OR LIGHT UP A SPARK. WE COME TOGETHER, STATE
OF THE ART. WE'LL NEVER SURRENDER, THE KIDS IN THE DARK.
SO LET THE WORLD SING "WHAT A SHAME, WHAT A SHAME.
BEAUTIFUL SCARS ON CRITICAL VEINS". WE COME TOGETHER,
STATE OF THE ART. WE'LL NEVER SURRENDER. THE KIDS IN THE
DARK. THE KIDS IN THE DARK.
                                              Jack, Zack, and Rian

HERE WE ARE AT THE TOP OF A HILL- A HILL THAT'S QUIETLY
CRUMBLING. BEEN A WHILE SINCE YOU DRESSED FOR THE KILL-
THE KILL THAT SENT ME TUMBLING. LOOKING UP, I SEE A FALLING
STAR, AND WATCH IT'S FIRE BURN INTO THE FLOOR. I AM LEFT
STANDING ON THE EDGE, WONDERING WHY WE FALL SO HARD,
WHY WE FALL SO HARD.
THEY LEFT US ALONE, THE KIDS IN THE DARK. TO BURN
OUT FOREVER OR LIGHT UP A SPARK. WE COME TOGETHER, STATE
OF THE ART. WE'LL NEVER SURRENDER.THE KIDS IN THE DARK.
SO LET THE WORLD SING"WHAT A SHAME, WHAT A SHAME,
BEAUTIFUL SCARS ON CRITICAL VEINS.". WE COME TOGETHER,STATE
OF THE ART. WE'LL NEVER SURRENDER, THE KIDS IN THE DARK,
