Blank Tapes

You used to come alive
 In the darkness, you held a light
 In the basement, you held them tight
 You would watch them night after night
 You take them out and you dust them off
 Are you the star? Are you meant to watch?
 Are they the faces you used to know?
 Are we okay? Are you all alone?
 (Are you okay?)
 They used to hold you up
 Float over everyone
 You had a warm bed you never saw
 Are we okay? Will you sleep it off?
 (Are you okay?)
 And now we're wandering in blank space
 But we can't shake ourselves awake
 (And now it feels okay)
 We try to fill our heads with blank tapes
 And we tape over everything
 (And now it feels okay)
 Take back your bitter words
 You're a ghost now, you never learn
 Are you the hands of a ticking clock?
 Are we okay when the ticking stops?
 (Are you okay?)
 And now we're wandering in blank space
 But we can't shake ourselves awake
 (And now it feels okay)
 We try to fill our heads with blank tapes
 And we tape over everything
 (And now it feels okay)
 And now it feels okay
 And now it feels okay
 And now it feels okay
 And now it feels okay
