Standard (EADGBE)
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 find the fight just
Doesn't mean a thing. She ain't got that swing
Thanks for noticing...
She does pretty well with fiends from hell
But lately we can tell that she's just
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 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
