Among the living you'll find the dying

Waiting softly to pass on

Why can't a love be like a spirit

As it floats up to the sky

With the giving there is taking

Neither one feels like it's right

And since your heart can't tell the difference

You give up without a fight

Because you know it makes you cry

'Cause you can see what's passed you by

Because you feel you can't decide

Among the living

Instead of headstrong into darkness

We should be drifting into light

It's been a long time we've been searching

And we still can't get it right

Because you know it makes you cry

'Cause you can see what's passed you by

Because you feel you can't decide

Among the living, breathing painted shells

Crumbling as they fall

Because you know it makes you cry

'Cause you can see what's passed you by

Because you feel you can't decide

Among the living, among the living, among the living

Because you know it makes you cry

'Cause you can see what's passed you by

Because you feel you can't decide

Among the living
