[Chorus] [belting vocals] I'm grieving the living, they walk but they're gone Shadow silhouettes where my hope hung on Grieving the chances that slipped through the blue Grieving the life I once promised you I'm grieving the living Like a dead in the dew Still haunted, still breathing, still missing you Come on! [Outro] [music softens, somber tone] Some ghosts breathe and some just ache Some graves walk around and some hearts never wake [vocal intensity builds to a scream] I'm grieving the living! I'm grieving the living! I'm grieving the living! I am grieving the living! [sustained vocal growl, final guitar chord rings out]
