Going Through The Motions
(vocals by sarah michelle gellar)

Buffy
Every single night,
The same arrangement,
I go out and fight the fight,
Still, I always feel the 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 your grave,
You find this fight just doesn't mean a thing.

Vampire
She ain't got that swing...

Buffy
Thanks for noticing

Two Vampires and Horned Demon
She is pretty well with fiends from hell,
But lately, we can tell,
That she's just going through the motions,
Facing it some how...

Horned Demon (just been stabbed)
She's not even half the girl she - ow.

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

Guy saved by Buffy
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
