AFI — The Great Disappointment lyrics

Lyrics

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
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
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
