Method Acting

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 again 
It's a shocking bit of footage 
Viewed from a shitty tv screen 
You can squint at it 
Just snow and static 
To make out the meaning 
And keep on stretching the antenna 
Hoping that it will come clear 
We need some reception 
A higher message 
Just tell us what to fear 
'Cause I don't know what tomorrow brings 
To light with such possibilities 
All I know is 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 
Yes 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 
Oh it starts with an ending 
So thank you friends for the time we shared 
My love stays with you like sunlight and air 
No I truly wish I could keep hanging around here 
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 fallen leaves 
I see their same fate in my own body 
But I won't be frightened when I'm awoken from this dream 
And return to that which gave birth to me 
Gave birth to me gave birth to me gave birth to me 
And the story goes and the story goes 
And it goes on and on and on and on 
It's going on and on and on and on
