She's Blue

[Laura]

I get no credit for being so close to the sun
all the blues and greens blending make no smile
just as round as the rest of them
but I'm thundering, I'm way above them

and I can scorn all your love
so don't bleed on me.

I can't be filthy but I can't be clean
you could scrub all the ashes off of me
I'd still be half dirty, the sun smokes
and I'm an ash tray but not one seems to care

I can't be the one you pray to
there can be nothing special about me
I guess you guess believing in a false being
is more realistic than believing in something you can touch

I can be touched
this close to the sun
but I can scorn all your love
so don't bleed on me.

I don't like your crying
somehow I'm sure you can't feel as heated as me
the arguments, the amber sparks,
the ambush and the ashes all fall on me

everything falls on to Mercury
and I can scorn your love
so don't you come crying to me.

"I get no credit for being so close to the sun

Good opening. It sparked my interest right away.

"I can't be filthy but I can't be clean
you could scrub all the ashes off of me
I'd still be half dirty, the sun smokes
and I'm an ash tray but not one seems to care"

That part is really good.

I liked it.

oh i really liked that. this is my favorite part:

I can't be the one you pray to
there can be nothing special about me
I guess you guess believing in a false being
is more realistic than believing in something you can touch

that part really stuck out for me. one can apply it to those who are so set on planning on the future and what's to come rather than see the things happening in front of them in the present. i really liked that part.
