No Use For A Name
(album: Hard Rock Bottom)

I can pretend for you
that I mean every word said
it´s true
That I´d probably rather be
like a stranger in disguise
And act as if nothing ever

Died or faded away,
got lonelier with age
And time isn´t on our side

I´m sorry to take
the thoughts that keep you awake
And make it seem like they´re overrated
You certainly talk about me more when
I fall down
And when I get up
my time is never enough
Loved in front behind my back hated
I guess it has everything to do with luck

I can defend the truth
but I sound like white noise to my friends
As I raise my glass to you
In a stupor we speak words
That couldn´t be more honest

Lies we lived before
are fights without a war
I´m dead when it´s in your head

I´m starting to think that all the buoys we sink
Are cutting our chances of being saved
I see that the end is all we have to let us know
I´d like to believe in something more than a dream
For when the will to be one has faded
I guess the truth will soon be deceived
My friend that isn´t there
My solitaire
