01. Exposed

Your response is like April rain

Trickling down my window pane

Forcing me to seek refuge in the shade

Fiercely determined to halt my parade

Yet you won't see me up and run

I know I'll choose to see the sun

It may not be safe to be exposed

As opposed to taking restful repose

But a vampire I am not -

Pass me a garlic knot!
