BUFFY: (singing) 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 (punch) 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. (stakes vamp)

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 1: She ain't got that swing.

BUFFY: Thanks for noticing.

VAMPS AND DEMON:She does pretty well with fiends from hell
But lately we can tell
That she's just going through the motions

DEMON: Going through the motions.

VAMP 2: Faking it somehow.

DEMON: She's not even half the girl she- (Buffy stabs him) ow.

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

(frees man she's just saved)

HANDSOME GUY: How can I repay-

BUFFY: Whatever.

I don't want to beeeeee...
Going through the motions
Losing all my drive.
I can't even see
If this is really me
And I just want to be-
(vamp 2 attacks, she stakes him and continues singing) Aliiiiiive.
