lyrics

METHOD ACTING (WRESTLING GARFIELD)

The geiger counter
The litmus paper
The seismograph
Before the earthquake

The air lock
The EEG
The hair trigger
Of the twelve gauge

Step into the dressing room
Where you rehearse your lines for a conversation that never happens.

I wish you’d spend more time in the present here.
Can’t wait out that long.
Can’t wait forever here.
(genuine's not real enough, fake is more appealing)

That’s the hard way of doing it - and it seemed so simple
Can’t hold out that long - but you're gonna have to wait anyway
Time weighs everything - stand your ground in vain.
Can’t hold out that long - let go or wait in vain.

The quick jab
The insult
The sour note
Before the end comes.

The giant space
Inbetween
The actress
And her own tongue.

I wish you’d spend more time in the present here.
Can’t wait out that long.
Can’t wait forever here.
(genuine's not real enough, fake is more appealing)

That’s the hard way of doing it - and it seemed so simple
Can’t hold out that long - but you're gonna have to wait anyway
Time weighs everything - stand your ground in vain.
Can’t hold out that long - let go or wait in vain.
