Fade

Always been alone, wish I could call my mommy
Wrap me like a doll and just drive me home
Left out in the cold, where is everybody?
Thought there'd be something at the end of the road

If I screamed, would you hear it?
If I bled out, would you feel it?
And I know I should just let it go
But it's sewn in with a red thread
The grime under my nail beds
There's nowhere else that I could go

Oh hey, I'll celebrate my pain
Like ashes in a vase
Won't let it fade away
And hold my hand and walk me slow
I'm scared to cross the road
Won't let it fade away

Fade, fade away
Fade, fade away
Fade, fade away

I get down on my knees, a self-serving religion
Could I spend the night in my childhood home?
The sheets would be warm, my feet would hang over
Wouldn't be the same, but at least it'd be close

If I screamed, would you hear it?
If I bled out, would you feel it?
And I know I should just let go
Mmm, but it's sewn in with a red thread
The grime under my nail beds
And there's nowhere else that I could go

Oh hey, I'll celebrate my pain
Like ashes in a vase
Won't let it fade away
Oh, hold my hand and walk me slow
I'm scared to cross the road
Won't let it fade away

I've run my feet bloody to the bone
A little girl in a woman's coat
She's always there, crying with the door closed

Fade, fade away
Fade, fade away
Fade, fade away
