Blank Tapes - From Indian Lakes

You used to come alive

In the darkness, you held a light

In the basement, you held on 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 wander in a 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 wander in a 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
