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, your finest fight just

Doesn't mean a thing

She ain't got that swing

Thanks for noticing



She does pretty well with feinds from Hell

But lately we can tell

That she's been going through the motions

Faking it somehow

She's not even half the girl she---ow!



Will I stay this way forever?

Sleepwalk through my life's endeavor?

How can I repay--

Whatever

I don't wanna be

Going through the motions

Losing all my drive

I can't even see

If this is really me

And I just wanna be

Alive
