The Great Disappointment

I could not help because
I was wasting away
I never, never wanted this
While I waited, I was wasting away
I can remember, searched for the amaranth

I'd make a wish and bleed

Soft creatures draped in white, light kisses gracing me
While I waited, I was wasting away

Always wanted to believe
Never never wanted this
Never never wanted this

While I waited, I was wasting away
Never never wanted this
Never never wanted this
From the start I'd been deceived
I could not help because
Oh, how I smiled then, so near the cherished ones

Inside a crumbling effigy
While I waited, I was wasting away
Faith was wasting away
I'd shut my eyes to see
I knew they would appear, saw not a single one
While I waited, I was wasting away
Never never wanted this
Oh, I smiled then, waiting so patiently
Dreams were the only place to see them
While I waited, I was wasting away
So dies all innocence
Never never wanted this
(But you promised)
From the start I'd been deceived

(But you promised me)
I never, never wanted this
I can remember, dreamt them so vividly
Hope was wasting away
Hope was wasting away
While I waited, I was wasting away
I can remember when I first realized
Always wanted to believe
Faith was wasting away
While I waited, I was wasting away
