Album: Once More, With Feeling

Going Through The Motions

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 training 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 rightous
no I find I´m wavering,
crawl out of your graves you´ll fight this fight just doesn´t meen a thing -
she ain´t got that swing....
Thanks for noticing!

She does pretty well with things from hell, but lately we can tell:
That she´s just going through the motions
(going through the motions )
faking it somehow, she´s not even half the girl she oww......

Will I stay this way forever?
Sleepwalk through my lives and ever..
How can I repay?
whatever!
I don´t want to be
going through the motions,
loosing all my drive.
I can´t even see, if this is really me!
And I just want to be
Alive
