Going through the motions

LETRA

Going through the motions

(Buffy) Every single night, the same arrangement,
I go out and fight the fight.
Still I always feel this strange estrangement,
Nothing here is real, nothing here is right.
I've been making shows of trading blows,
Just hoping no one knows,
That I've been going through the motions,
Walking though the part,
Nothing seems to penetrate my heart.

I was always brave and kind of righteous,
Now I find I'm wavering.
Crawl out of your grave, you find this fight
Just doesn't mean a thing

(Henchman)
She ain't got that swing.

(Buffy) -pause-
Thanks for noticing.

(Demon & Henchmen)
She is pretty well with fiends from Hell
But lately we can tell
That she's just going through the motions
Faking it somehow.

(Demon)
She's not even half the girl she...owww!

(Buffy)
Will I stay this way forever?
Sleepwalk through my life's endeavor.

(Handsome Young Man)
How can I repay...

(Buffy)
Whatever!
I don't want to be
Going through the motions,
Losing all my drive.
I can't even see,
If this is really me,
And I just wanna be alive.
