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
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
