Going Through The Motions
Thursday, Dec. 06, 2007 @ 7:27 a.m.

Hmm. Lately I just feel like I'm going through the motions. Granted my friends haven't raised me from the dead thinking they were saving me from a eternity of hellish sufferings when in fact they had ripped me from the comforting bliss of heaven. I don't have time to write. Can be late-- today. So here's Buffy's take on Going through the motions from the musical episode, Once More With Feeling. Incidentally I think the new speech therapist and I are going to be fast friends. She was telling a story the other day and at one point said, "It's like that one time on Buffy . . ."

(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 you grave
You find this fight just
Doesn�t mean a thing
(Vampire:)
She ain�t got that swing
(Buffy:)
Thanks for noticing
(Demon and vamps:)
She does pretty well with fiends from hell
But lately we can tell
That she�s just
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
(Handsome young victim man:)
How can I repay-
(Buffy:)
-Whatever
I don�t want to be
Going through the motions
Losing all me drive
I can�t even see if this is really me
And I just want to be--
Alive!
