Todd Barriage - The Great Disappointment lyrics
[Todd Barriage - The Great Disappointment lyrics]
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
(How could I have become?)
I never, never wanted this
But from the start, I'd been deceived
I never, never wanted this
(How could I have become?)
I never, never wanted this
I always wanted to believe
I never, never wanted this
I never, never wanted this
But from the start, I'd been deceived
I 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
