    Never thought that I would be the one to say I've had enough
    Yeah
    I've opened up my closet
    The skeletons are catching up

    I'm waiting for my chance to bail but the God damn ship set sail
    I know without a doubt that I want out but there's not a chance in hell

    Time to admit it
    A man's gotta live it
    Going through the motions
    I'm in the bottom
    Lost and forgotten
    Going through the motions
    Mind's about to overload
    It's time
    I'll be so sad to blow
    When we'll be going through the motions
    Go
    Go
    Go
    Hey

    Ten minutes later and finally I've got it all
    Oh yeah
    You know something's wrong when you've begun to gather dust
    So what's the point in aiming at all when you're guaranteed to fall
    Now my reflection's cracked and looking back it's all recognisable

    Time to admit it
    A man's gotta live it
    Going through the motions
    I'm in the bottom
    Lost and forgotten
    Going through the motions
    Mind's about to overload
    It's time
    I'll be so sad to blow
    When we're going through the motions
    Go
    Go
    Go
    Ha

    Going through the motions
    Going through the motions
    Going through the motions
    Going through the motions

    Going through the motions
    Going through the motions
    Going through the motions
    Going through the motions

    Going through the motions
    Going through the motions
    Going through the motions
    Whoa

    Time to admit it
    A man's gotta live it
    Oh
    I'm in the bottom
    Lost and forgotten
    Going through the motions
    Mind's about to overload
    It's time
    I'll be so sad to blow
    When we'll be going through the motions
    Going through the motions
    Oh yeah
    (Ba ba ba ba ba ba baby)
    Going through the motions
    (Ba ba ba ba ba ba baby)
    Going through the motions
    (Ba ba ba ba ba ba baby)

    Going through the motions
    (Ba ba ba ba ba ba baby)
    Going through the motions
    (Ba ba ba ba ba ba baby)
    Going through the motions
    (Ba ba ba ba ba ba baby)
