Collect Color

No obvious beauty when I'm in the city
I have to wake up
Here to collect color
On the walk

And at the store
I buy bleach and a pregnancy test
It's been quite a week
I'm searching for signs
Light on my cheek

Feeling like a metal
Molten til it hardens
I miss you more
Metamorphosis in the morning
Morning glory climbing
Petal through the wire and
I'm out the door
Aiming for the crack in the order
I'll see you there

I'm walking down the wrong street
Chicken feet and the smell of blood
I'm looking up: a pigeon
White as a dove

Feeling like a metal
Molten til it hardens
I miss you more
Metamorphosis in the morning
Morning glory climbing
Petal through the wire and
I'm out the door
Aiming for the crack in the order
I'll see you there

I found out the hard way
Nothing's guaranteed to stay
But we can collect color on the walk
Here to collect color on the walk

Feeling like a metal
Molten til it hardens
I miss you more
Metamorphosis in the morning
Morning glory climbing
Petal through the wire and
I'm out the door
Aiming for the crack in the order
I'll see you there
