Method Acting

They raise the curtain for you to see what lies behind But you're too busy to notice, you're throwing darts up in the sky I don't know what you're aiming for but I admire that you always try You live your life so carelessly, I wish I could live it by your side They call it method acting, but I call it living a lie So go and take your mask off and deliver another aside Cause you know all the dialogue, yes you've learnt all of your lines And now I fear that all the words I hear have been rehearsed a thousand times So go ahead, go and fuck everybody you know It doesn't matter to me, but don't you think that it's so strange That what we have is never there when we turn the page So go ahead, go and lie to me with every word There's no need to decipher what can clearly be heard But you don't mind, you tell yourself it's only method acting So now we're splitting, yes we're splitting at the seams And trying to make it look natural, like an actor changing scenes It all happens so suddenly and it's so hard to believe That what was centre stage is now buried in the wings And we're all terrible actors, but my god it's a beautiful stage It seems like such a pity, it seems like such a shame To be toeing the line, to be putting these scenes to shame And to spit upon the floor where there once was so much grace So go ahead, go and fuck everybody you know It doesn't matter to me, but don't you think that it's so strange That what we have, is never there when you turn the page So go ahead, go and fuck everything that you see It doesn't matter who's hurt, just as long as you're pleased now And that you know, you'll only ever get scraps when you dig this low So go ahead, go and break yourself upon the ground There's always someone dumb enough to want to stick around now But you don't mind, you tell yourself it's only method acting
