grayness

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.

Vamp:
She ain't got that swing

Buffy:
Thanks for noticing!

Vamps/Demon:
She does pretty well with fiends from hell
but lately we can tell
she's been going through the motions.
Faking it somehow.
She's not even half the girl she....ow

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

Hot Guy:
How can I repay you...?

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!
