Chemical lights

You look more alive than you did before, before you walked out of the door.

Need to see your chemical light in our home with none; you look a little more alive.

Your eyes look dim without your chemical escape; the thing that kills you saves you.

Chemical lights are the best thing you'll ever experience, but only once.

Lights suddenly go dark; our home abandoned, the chemical light has become your home.
