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.   But from the start I’d been decieved.   I never, never wanted this.      Inside a crumbling effigy,   But you promised me.   So dies all innocence.   But you promised me.      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.
