The Great Disappointment

I can remember, a place I used to go.
Chrysanthemums of white
They seemed so beautiful.
I can remember, I searched for the amaranth.
I'd shut my eyes, to see.

Oh how I smiled then, so near the cherished ones.
I knew they would appear, saw not a single one.
Oh how I smiled then, waiting so patiently.
I'd make a wish and bleed.

While I waited , I was wasting away
While I waited , I was wasting away

I can remember...dreamt them so vividly
Soft creatures draped in white, light kisses gracing me
I can remember when I first realized dreams were the only place to see them.

While I waited , I was wasting away
While I waited , I was wasting away
While I waited , I was wasting away

Hope was wasting away.
Faith was wasting away.
I was wasting away.

I never, never wanted this.
I always wanted to believe.
Never never wanted this.
How cold have I become.
Never Never wanted this.
From the start I'd been deceived.
Never never wanted this.
How cold have I become.

I never, never wanted this.
I always wanted to believe.
Never never wanted this.
Never Never wanted this.
From the start I'd been deceived.
Never never wanted this.

Inside a crumbling effigy
(But you promised)
So dies all innocence
(But you promised me)

While I waited , I was wasting away
While I waited , I was wasting away
While I waited , I was wasting away

Hope was wasting away.
Faith was wasting away.
I was wasting away.
