We're weird. What can we say. This song either has really deep meaning, or it's a themesong for the next Sci-Fi channel vampire show.
Originally spawned from a quote from "A River Runs Through It."

Lyrics
Daylight haunts me
The shadows draw me
The sun disarms me
But the moonlight shelters me
Come on, do it
And the daylight haunts me
Peeling away all the things that I tried to hide
A secret lost will leave you open
And the shadows draw me
Keeps me away from the pull of a prying eye
The deeds of a man are his alone
Locked away if he wants it
Daylight
Burns my head
Shadow
Hides me away, never leaving me open
Sunshine
Blind, on me
Moonlight
Sheltering me 'til I start over, do it again
And the Sun disarms me
Stripping away the armor that I have donned and why
To keep me down, flat, saddened, and lonely
But the moonlight bathes me
washes away all the sins that I've done and why
It sets me free to let me be
Anything that I wanted
Daylight
Burns my head
Shadow
Hides me away, never leaving me open
Sunshine
Blind, on me
Moonlight
Sheltering me 'til I start over, do it again
