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 kinda righteous
Now I find I’m wavering…
Crawl out of your grave, you find this fight
just doesn’t mean a thing…
Demon:
She aint’ got that swing…”
Buffy:
[pause ] Thanks for noticing…
Demon chorus:
She does pretty well
With fiends from hell
But lately we can tell
That she’s just…..
Going through the motions
Faking it somehow….
She’s not even half the girl she…
Ooooow!
Buffy:
Will I stay this way forever?
Sleepwalk through my life’s endeavour?
Victim:
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 want to be…
Alive…………………”
