Good immortal morning The sun is shining and the Night ended its scene It's celebratory Featherweight of a kid Do today what you never did Grab the bull by the horns Literally Hey where's your bucket list? We can cross off every wish There's no risk With your magical resiliency Why are you crying? You shouldn't be crying You're not dying When you should be dying Good immortal morning The sun is shining and the Night ended its scene It's celebratory, your Immortal morning Twelve hours of day And you can't die So celebrate You're sleeping in again Had a rough cursed duration You're making it worse By giving in Count your blessings kid Well there's just one but it is big You can win if you only put Some effort in Why are you crying? You shouldn't be crying You're not dying When you should be dying Good immortal morning The sun is shining and the Night ended its scene It's celebratory, your Immortal morning Twelve hours of day And you can't die So celebrate Sometimes I wanna kill you Sometimes I want to kill you Sometimes I wanna, ugh, just kill you But nobody in the whole wide world Can kill you Yet (spoken over chorus) I hope you have just the most fun-flipping-tastic Most wonderful, amazingest day And don't worry about anything

Be safe, be well Well-wishes tend to fail Uncertain chill Prevails out here I'll warm you up With something that'll keep you tough A jacket and a hug So do not fear I'm with you Sleep easy I'm with you My baby I'm with you Sleep easy I'm with you My baby

Georgina Stacker You know I'm here every Friday, Pepper Flakes Whoa, sorry, I'll leave you guys alone You seem busy, baby doll She's not by herself Our mom lives in Heritagd She started attending classes this week so I guess it's okay Nice of you to spill all our family business to other people, Gina Hey Amber's not like that She hangs out with your little brother doesn't she? She doesn't judge the unfortunate Well he does have unfortunate genes Life didn't do him any favors in the looks department Poor kid I was just kidding, love The short stack is cute in his own way Depends how you define cute, but sure baby My little sister beats your little brother in every category So I'll toss him a bone My little sister had to parent our kid brother after my mom split What does West do that's so noteworthy? Yeah, Pepper Flakes I guess you got me there Boy If I ever meet that guy He's Dead Well, see ya around, Georgine Can't keep my opponents waiting Huh? Why do you need to know that? Are you some kind of stalker? Nice try But you look too old to have been one of Amber's classmates Do I need to call the police? But Amber was forbidden from going to those Yet she snuck in anyway? Hardcore That's my sister Well it still would be hella irresponsible for me to give that information To someone I've never seen before But since you're Gina's boyfriend I guess I can trust you It's the Heritagd Scholastic Success School If you visit her Give her a thumbs up for me Or not, bro I don't judge people by what they choose to do with their fingers Hold up I heard you're homeless, so take this Tell the newspapers that the philanthropist was Benjamin Istobal Not Bentuvet If you mix us up You're doing me a harsh Gotta outshine my bro You know, bro? Catch ya You're too soft

I have a little brother You cannot make him sad Cuz every day he's playing He finds something to smile about But I was so much different A girl curled in a ball And as I grew up older I found something to shout about Buried under a lot of hurt Who do I look up to? Kids crying To show their pain Kids crying, kids crying Kids crying To show their pain Kids crying, kids crying Most people call me "hot head" I scrape them when I pass They cannot see the difference Between the in and outer shell I will not disappoint them I'll fight and punch and kick And scuffle and riot And scream and scream And kill ya and laugh As long as no one gets hurt Whooa Buried under a lot of hurt Who do I look up to? Kids crying To show their pain Kids crying, kids crying Kids crying To show their pain Kids crying, kids crying I rarely waaah I rarely waaah I rarely waaah I rarely Ooh ooh ooh I rarely waaah Ooh ooh Kids crying To show their pain Kids crying, kids crying Kids crying To show their pain Kids crying, kids crying Kids crying (kids crying) To show their pain Kids crying, (to show their pain) kids crying Kids crying (woo) To show their pain Kids crying, (I rarely waaah) kids crying Wah wah wah wah wah wah wah wah

You won't admit to yourself All the things you haven't done today (Like eating cleaning washing sleeping) It's hard to look at yourself The dust obscures the mirror and Common sense is late (No eating cleaning washing sleeping) Every second you're checking the clock Every second you're feeling so raw It's wrong it's wrong It's wrong it's wrong Who can deal with this constant hurting? When you know that you don't deserve it It's wrong it's wrong It's wrong it's wrong it's wrong Time moves slow Time moves slow (tick tock) Time moves slow (tick tock tick tock) (Tick tock) Time moves slow (tick tock tick tock tick tock) Time moves slow (time moves slow slow slow slooow) (Time moves slow slow) Time moves slow (Slooow, slooow)

Bursting out the door Like lightning Inside outside I could never find Somewhere suitable to strike The vict'ries in my mind Were astounding me Before I even knew I could make my dreams come true I was a kid And I still feel like a kid It got me trapped in my old Kid-sized wish list Follow your heart Fo-fo-fo follow your heart With a pitchfork (fork fork fork fork fork fork fork) Drag your dreams to the ground Follow your heart Fo-fo-fo follow your heart With a pitchfork (fork fork fork fork fork fork fork) Yesterday shouldn't mess up now Flavors of the foods I cherished Love the sugar hate the spice Changing as the tongue grows older The free-falling That I achieved Made gravity A little bit harder to work with I fell like a kid And I still fall like a kid All tangled up in my old Kid-sized wish list Follow your heart Fo-fo-fo follow your heart With a pitchfork (fork fork fork fork fork fork fork) Drag your dreams to the ground Follow your heart Fo-fo-fo follow your heart With a pitchfork (fork fork fork fork fork fork fork) Yesterday shouldn't mess up now Fork!

about

.-*-* THE 2nd ALBUM *-*-.
BASED ON THE ONLINE COMIC, EXVULNERUM
( available to read for free at EXVcomic.com )

"like a sunny meadow is slowly glitching into a black hole"
- Christy McCulfor

The sophomore auditory creation of a visual artist, MAKING LIGHT makes light of some dark webcomic traumas--because if we don't laugh about it all, we'll cry. After THE ADVENTURE (he) DIDN'T WANT, an unbearable curse of pain continues to wreak havoc on the comic page and in your music player, and you'll never be sure which song is trying to be serious.

This album picks up where the previous left off and covers events surrounding chapters 10 - 17 of Exvulnerum. Listen in and MAKE LIGHT
