The Great Disappointment

AFI - The Great Dissapointment




I can remember
A place I used to go
Chrysanthmums 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 realized dreams
Were only 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
I cannot ever become
I never,never wanted this
But from the start I'd been decieved
I never, never wanted this
I cannot ever become
I never, never wanted this
I always wanted to believe
I never, never wanted this
Ohhh
I never,never wanted this
But from the start I'd been decieved
I never, never wanted this
Whoa

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
