Quietly blue from Quietly blue by Scoddy

Quietly blue

neither fireproof nor waterproof
if you cut me I will surely bleed
blood and chocolate, kerosene and roses
whatever meets the need

why ask the river how it feels about the ocean?
why ask the river how it feels about the rain?

two from column one, one from column two
most days are okay
some days I’m quietly blue, quietly blue

the things that we remember and the things we do not
we seem to wear so lightly on our skin
blood and chocolate, kerosene and roses
may be wearing a little thin

why ask the river how it feels about the ocean?
why ask the river how it feels about the rain?

maybe we’re staying
maybe we’re passing through
most days are okay
some days I’m quietly blue, quietly blue

why ask the river how it feels about the ocean?
why ask the river how it feels about the rain?

some of us are staying
some are passing through
most days are okay
some days I’m quietly blue, quietly blue
