Its walmart,the bathroom,
im staring in the mirror,
florescent lights are bright,
that makes...the lines clearerwhere 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 leftthe 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 leftcuz i am fading,im fading, im ....fading away
i am fading just like fairytales, and the hero loses faith
i am fadingyour 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 weti 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 awayand 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
