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 through 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 you grave
You find this fight just
Doesn’t mean a thing
Vampire:
She ain’t got that swing
Buffy:
Thanks for noticing
Demon and vamps:
She does 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-ow…
Buffy:
Will I stay this way forever
Sleepwalk through my life’s endeavor
Handsome young victim man:
How can I repay-
Buffy:
-Whatever
I don’t want to be
Going through the motions
Losing all me drive
I can’t even see if this is really me
And I just want to be
Alive
