Joss Whedon Alive Lyrics

Alive Lyrics

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
