Fading - Jewel
Its walmart the bathroom
I'm staring in the mirror
florescent lights are bright
that makes the lines clearer
where did the angel go
cigarette smoke's all thats left
trade my wings in for a string of pearls
and the string is all i've left
the light bulbs buzz
and someone's in the store
big white brick wall
makes me feel small
and i take my shirt off
looking for a glimpse of flesh
feel that the concrete
hope theres something natural left
cuz i am fading im fading im fading away
i am fading just like fairytales and the hero loses faith
i am fading
your hair smells like urine
it's getting hard to breathe
i could walk out that door but
no one ever really leaves and i
take my clothing off trying not to forget
stupid things like the color of rain
and the smell of stone when its wet
i am fading im fading i am fading away
iam fading just like fairytales and the hero loses faith
and im naked in the mirror with a feather in my hand
a lady comes out of the bathroom sceaming oh jesus she couldn't understand
but i ask her hey what happens to us when we get old and in the way
i guess she answered me 'cause they took me away
and i am fading i am fading I'm fading away
i am fading just like fairytales and the hero loses faith
and i don't know how and i dont know when
i dont know when i forgot
hope i remember again
i am fading away
i am fading
