about

A group piece about the "scariest" place to be at Santa Fe School for the Arts and Sciences in Santa Fe.

lyrics

A, L: That is…if you want to graduate
S: Alive!

M: Yeah, remember what happened to the last….

D: A moment of silence
R: We mourn the unnamed, unsaid, undead
A, M, D: Those who took the long walk to

ALL: THE DARKROOM

B, L, R: Sucking you in like a black hole
S: A failed photo lab that never caught a criminal
L: That never leaves pictures of its victims

M: The cries of naughty children alike
B, D: Do echo in its confines

A: (Alicia screams) Ahhhhhhghahhawahhchooawaahh

L: There are only a handful of fingerless students
L, A: Who have ever returned
B: Even the teachers fear the creepy
B, A: Swinging red/orange light


D: It is said that children who are sent in there
D, R: Stand in a line of cold, blank stares
R: Never again to see the light of day
M: Zombies awaiting execution

S: The bloated bodies and swollen eyes
S, A: Giving off a light of their own
A: Standing at the mouth of darkness

ALL: The survivors speak only of the floor
B: All they could see in the room that despises light

D: Broken pencils,
M: sabotaged surveillance videos
L: And fingers!

S: Victims hear nothing but the drip, drip, drip of leaky faucet torture
ALL: drip, drip, drip, drip, drip…..

A: (Alicia screams) Ahhhhhhghahhawahhchooawaahh

S: AND screams

R: DANGER!

M: The putrid smell of fear still lingers
D: A musk that fills the air and chokes the children of their words

ALL: Even Darkrooms have dreams
L: Of being more than a slap on the wrist
L, B, R: Of being more than in-school suspension

ALL: They dream of being terrifying
B: Of scaring teachers out of their own office
A: Like a haunted house

D: They have AMITYVILLE HORROR posters
D, M, R: Hanging from their teenage walls
L: Praying students misbehave
ALL: And end up on their resume

S: AKA Missing persons list

M: Darkroom,
M, B: You will never be more than a 6th grade class disposal

R: Nothing but the wretched refuse derived from the bowels of hell

ALL: We are going in to rescue our classmates who have enough life left to save

D: The claustrophobic denseness fills the air as we enter

L: You are small
ALL: But we are many

S: And we refuse to let you feast on our brains

ALL: Prepare to see the light!
