lyrics

You'll be
you'll be here in the morning but I won't
baby I'm gone
baby I'm gone
you'll be
you'll be here in the morning but I won't
baby I'm gone
baby I'm gone

There's enough blame
enough blame to go around to know I'm not a hero
but neither
neither are you
our hearts may feel the same
our hearts may feel the same
but the end is here we know
ego and the id have their own shade to throw
I'm not letting go
there's worse things than being alone

Night falls down again
all beginnings come to an end
it's the loss of love
and loss of the friends
that paves this life of regret in the end

Your hand was in his the first time our eyes met
knew it in my bones that I should just keep on walking
was alone in the crowd
you were feeling left out
and our souls got to talkin
the way they oughta do
I fell hard for you
I guess you fell hard for me too
and it was the end
the end of the tower I built
the tower I built
above the construct of love
and the feeling that we'll never be good enough without someone
someone else

Night falls down again
all beginnings come to an end
it's the loss of love
and loss of the friends
that paves this life of regret in the end

Jay Armstrong recommends:

One Man's Trash
by Manatee Tights

Probably my favorite musician, certainly my favorite lyricist, this album is minimalist compared to what Ulmer is known for yet hits me with five times the power as all his other work combined. Jay Armstrong

We Are All Connected
by Seth Gibbs

I would give anything for another long night with too many beers laughing in Seth's presence. At least he left us some incredible music that embodies our memories of who and how he was rather well. Jay Armstrong
