It's Walmart, the bathroom I'm staring in the mirror Florescent lights are bright It makes the lines clearer Where did the Angel go? Cigarette smoke's all that's left I've traded my wings in for a string of pearls And a string is all I've left
The lighbulbs burns Someone's in the stall Big white, brick wall Makes me feel small And I take my shirt off Looking for a glimpse of flesh Peel back the concrete Hope there's something that true left
Cuz I am fading I am fading I am fading away I am fading just like fairytales An a hero loses faith I am fading
The air smells like urine It's gettin 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 it's wet
I am fading I am fading I am fading away I am fading just like fairytales An a hero loses faith
And I am naked in the mirror With a feather in my hand A lady comes out of the bathroom screaming "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, they took me away
I am fading I am fading I am fading away I am fading just like fairytales An a hero loses faith
And I don't know how And I don't know when Don't know when I forgot Hope I'll remember again I am fading away I am fading
