Method Acting Lyrics


There is 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 through snowy static to
make 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 don't know what tomorrow
brings. It is alive with such possibilities. All
I know is I feel better when I sing. Burdens are
lifted from me, that is 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 out 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 I truly 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 that living. It's like a fountain, a door
has been 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 in my own body. But I won't be afraid
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...
