Goin' Thru The Motions
Actions have been justified
Never true to yourself
(CHORUS)
Victim of the circumstance
Never true to yourself

All is comprised
Looking for approval there
In someone else's eyes
Oh, dodging all you really are
Becomes your greatest task
Acting out your lonely part
You hide behind your mask
Knowing well this is not like you
Fooling yourself
You're just living a lie
Goin' goin' goin' thru the motions
Prisoner of the shame
But it's the double standard life
That keeps you in the game
Taken by your own disguise
But when it's wearing thin
You'll do anything it takes
To impress your friends
This is nor what you want to be
Fooling yourself
You're just living a lie
