[Verse 1]

Stumble into November knowing goddamn well

I can't make nothing close to this tender

Can't fade, can't accelerate

So pitch me into that blender

Regardless where the sun is, I'm my own personal winter

I'm cold, I think I'm cold

I'm just tryna remember

Just tryna remember


[Refrain]

It's October and I'm tired


[Verse 2]

We thought we were so clever

Just put me on that TV screen, 'cause pop culture's forever

We did it, we do it

If everybody's assuming, I did too cause I'm human

We heard we wasn't performing, we heard it wasn't resuming

And it ended

It fucking ended, just like that


[Refrain]

It's October and I'm tired


[Verse 3]

We tried starting a movement

We tried starting a record label

Our friendships have been ruined

Good brothers in arguments about money, data and music

We created illusions

Then, the fighting went public and frightened all the consumers

And it ended

It just fell the fuck apart


[Refrain]

It's October and I'm tired


[Verse 4]

We tried doing forever

We tried doing what they tried to do

But we tried doing it better

We tried alone and together

Tried until we got tired of losing

Tired of pulling on levers

Tired of tryna balance them ledgers

When there's one rock and one feather

It ended
