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…
