The Great Disappointment

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

While I waited, I was wasting away

While I waited, I was wasting away

[Verse 3]

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

[Chorus 2]

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

[Bridge]

I never, never wanted this

I always wanted to believe

I never, never wanted this

(How could I have become?)

I never, never wanted this

But from the start, I'd been deceived

I never, never wanted this

(How could I have become?)

I never, never wanted this

I always wanted to believe

I never, never wanted this

I never, never wanted this

But from the start, I'd been deceived

I never, never wanted this

[Bridge 2]

Inside a crumbling effigy

But you promised

So dies all innocence

But you promised me

[Chorus 2]

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
