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 your grave,

You'll find this fight

Just doesn't mean a thing

VAMPIRE I:

She ain't got that swing

BUFFY:

Thanks for noticing!

VAMP I + II:

She is pretty well with things from hell

But lately we can tell

That she's been 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?

RESCUEE:

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!!
