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.

I could not help because.

Never Never wanted this.

From the start I'd been deceived.

Never never wanted this.

I could not help because.

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.
