A.F.I. Lyrics

"The Great Disappointment" 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.
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.
