Method Acting Lyrics. More lyrics from Bright Eyes

There's no beginning to the story. A bookshelf sinks into the sand and a language learned and forgot, in turn, is studied once agan. It's a shocking bit of footage viewed from a shitty t.v. screen. You can squint at it through snowy static to mke out the meaning. Just keep on stretching the antennae, hoping that it will come clear. We need some reception, a higher message, just tell us what to fear. Because I dont know what tomorrow brings. It's alive with such possibilities. All I know is that I feel better when I sing. Burdens are lifted from me, that's my voice rising!
So Michael please keep the tape rolling. Boys keep strumming those guitars. We need a record of our failures. We must document our love. I have sat too long in my silence. I have grown too old in my pain. To shed this skin, be born again it starts with an ending. So thank you friends for the time we shared. My love stays with you like sunlight and air. Oh, how truly I wish I could keep hanging around here but my joy is covering me. Soon I will disappear.


It's not a movie, no private screening. This method acting, well, I call it living. It's like a fountain, a door has opened. We have a problem with no solution but to love and to be loved.
So I've made peace with the falling leaves. I see their same fate im my own body. But I wont be frightened when I am awoken from this dream and returned to that which gave birth to me. And the story goes on and on and on and on...
