Jewel - Fading

#木九州制作

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
