Everything Ends Last Year - Open Mike Eagle

Stumble into November knowing goddamn well

I can’t make nothing close to this tendon

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)

It’s October and I’m tired

We thought we were so clever

Just put me on that TV screen, cos pop culture’s forever

We did it, we do it

If everybody’s assuming, I did two cos I’m human

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

And it ended (it fuckin ended just like that)

It’s October and I’m tired

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 (just fell the fuck apart)

It’s October and I’m tired

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 lectures

And there’s one rock and one feather

Ended
