I can remember I searched for the amaranth.
I'd shut my eyes eyes to see.
Oh, how I smiled then, so near the cherished ones.

I'd make a wish and bleed.
While I waited
I was wasting away.
While I waited
I was wasted 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.
Hope was wasting away.
Faith was wasting away.
I was wasting away.
I never, never wanted this.
I always wanted to believe
but from the start I'd been deceived.
I never, never wanted this.
Inside a crumbling effigy,
so dies all innocence.
But you promised me…
