Among the living, (Among the living,)
You'll find the dying (you'll find the dying)
Waiting softly (Waiting softly)
To pass on. (to pass on.)
Why can't love be (Why can't love be)
Like a spirit (like a spirit)
As it floats up (As it floats up)
To the sky? (to the sky?)
With the giving, (With the giving,)
There is taking: (there is taking:)
Neither one feels (Neither one feels)
Like it's right. (like it's right.)
And since your heart can't (And since your heart can't)
Tell the difference, (tell the difference,)
You give up (You give up)
Without a fight, (without a fight,)
Because you know (Because you know)
It makes you cry, (healing makes you cry.)
'Cause you can't see ('Cause you can't see,)
(you see)
What's passed you by, (what's passed you by.)
Because you feel (Because you feel,)
You can't decide (you feel you can't decide)
Among the living. (Among the living.)
Instead of headstrong (Instead of headstrong)
Into darkness, (into darkness,)
We should be drifting (We should be drifting)
Into light. (into light.)
It's been a long time (It's been a long time)
We've been searching; (we've been searching;)
And we still can't (And we still can't)
Get it right, (get it right,)
Because you know (Because you know)
It makes you cry, (healing makes you cry.)
'Cause you can't see ('Cause you can't see,)
(you see)
What's passed you by, (what's passed you by.)
Because you feel (Because you feel,)
You can't decide (you feel you can't decide)
Among the living, (Among the living,)
Breathing, painted shells, (breathing, painted shells,)
Crumbling as they (Crumbling as they)
Fall -- (fall --)
Aaaaaaaa- (Aaaaaaaa-)
Aaaaaaaa (aaaaaaaa)
Aaaaaaaa- (aaaaaaaa-)
Aah... (aah...)
Because you know (Because you know)
It makes you cry, (healing makes you cry.)
'Cause you can't see ('Cause you can't see,)
(you see)
What's passed you by, (what's passed you by.)
Because you feel (Because you feel,)
You can't decide (you feel you can't decide)
Among the living... (Among the living...)
Among the living... (Among the living...)
Because you know it (Among the living...)
Makes you fly
'Cause you can't see (Among the living...)
What's passed you by
Because you feel you (Among the living...)
Can't decide
Among the living. (Among the living.)
