Among the Living Lyrics

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

Among the living you'll find the dying Waiting softly to pass on

(Maybe Old/retired people who do nothing interesting for living, waiting for their final breath)

Why can't a love be like a spirit As it floats up to the sky

(Uncompleted love stories, feelings, they stuck in our hearts, why not to float like a spirit)

With the giving there is taking Neither one feels like it's right

(When something was taken from you, you feel it's not right. When you were granted something, you feel its not right)

And since your heart can't tell the difference You give up without a fight (You surrender to fate)

Because you know it makes you cry 'Cause you can see what's passed you by (Unachieved dreams passing by your sight) Because you feel you can't decide Among the living (You need to abandon people, for making decisions)

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
