It's k-mart, the bathroom

I'm staring in the mirror

The green lights are bright

It makes the lines clearer

Heard the angel go

Cigarette smoke's all that's left

I've traded in my wings for a string of pearls

And now the string is all i've left



The light bulbs burn

Some ones in the stall

Big white

Brick wall

Makes me feel small

And i take my shirt off

Looking for a glimpse of flesh

I peel back the concrete

Hope there's still some soil left



Cuz i am fading

I am fading

I am fading away

I am fading

Just like fairy tales

Hero loses faith

I am fading



The air smells like urin

It's getting hard to breathe

I could walk out that door

But no one really ever leaves

I take all my clothing off

Trying not to forget

Stupid things like

The color of rain

And the smell of stone when it's wet

And i am naked in the mirror

With a feather in my hand

The lady comes out of the bathroom

Screaming, "oh, jesus!"

Like i was a man

And i ask her

"hey, what happens to us

When we get old and in the way?"

I guess she answered me cus' they

Took me away



And i am fading

I am fading

I am fading away

I am fading

Just like fairy tales

Hero's loses faith

And i do not know

Why or when

I guess that spring is just a leave me ??

And i am fading

I'm fading
