Motions

I wake up in the mornin
And I shave my face
Drink a cup of coffee
Then I head to the workplace
The same thing ive been doing
For the last 20 tears
I traded in my dreams
And I called it a career

Im just going through the motions
Feels like im stranded in the ocean
Feels like like im dreaming in a sea of lost emotions
And im just going through the motions

Its been all of 5 long years
Since I said I do
From where im sitting now
Feels like im handcuffed to you
The love we had is long gone
Replaced by apathy
Now im no good for you
And youre no good for me

Were just going through the motions
Feels like were stranded in the ocean
Feels like were dreamin in a sea of lost emotions
And were just going through the motions

If home is where the heart is
This aint home to me
Wander round in a daze
Hating each and every street
Pretend that I give a damn
I care to be around
The truth is I feel lost
And I just cant stand this town

Im just going through the motions
Feels like im swimmin in the ocean
Feels like im fallin, fallin in slow motion
Im done goin through the motions
Said im done goin through the motions
Im done goin through the motions

Brilliant. I had this same basic idea for a song and never got around to writing it. Alas, you have beaten me to it, and did a great job of pulling it off as well.

I think these words hold a lot of promise and can make a wonderful song. I think it is amazing that you are talking about lack of emotion but I see strength, power and emotion in the words.
