October

I've never seen a place drearier
Than the one outside of my flesh
Than the one so far from my heart

Roll on October sky
Fill our lungs with oxygen
Let us breathe, oh let us breathe
There's so much more we have to see
Have to feel to remind us that we're real

September's scuffing your veneer dull
Oh October please fight back
Our arteries can only make it so far
So far then they snap into a million pieces
That lay flat on this earth

Don't let us make up the ground we walk on
Oh, Oh, Oh
Don't let us make up the ground we walk on

All the bells and whistles are fine tuned
This flying machine is set to go
To take us to a place where the veins on our necks
Match the leaves' in the trees

Oh, Oh, Oh October
It's not over yet
