linus was a boy from angeles
he spent the past year in the valley
huddled up in bed
with pillow on his head
he spent the past year in the valley
linus was a headcase right out of the womb
linus was afraid of leaving his room
(linus was afraid of meeting his doom)
wrap the blankets around me
so i can't move
turn the car around and take me home
i'm out of things to prove
to you

I left another party early again, thinking I had lost my friends to the winners clapping backs and congratulating apathy. I don't have that much to say, so let's socialize our lives away - small talk til our minds decay. I left the Hawaiian shirt you gave to me. I walked out in a hurry and I didn't think. I spent another night inside my own head - wishing I had gone to bed, despite assurances that I'm here because they want me here. I don't have that much to say, so let's put acquaintance on display - name drop til opinions sway. I left the Hawaiian shirt you gave to me. I walked out in a hurry and I didn't think. I know it's mine, but I feel awful.

This House

don't go away for good. it's such a long drive. don't brainstorm ways to die. i don't think i'd survive. i can't picture this house without you here. i can't live in this house without you here. don't float away for good. i have so much left to hear. don't disappear tonight.

you're always working on your songs, but are they your songs at all? written by someone uninvolved. disinterested - ample experience, oh yeah.
you're always readying excuses. it's not hard to give credit when there's plenty of credit due. excuse me sir, i'd like to speak with you, oh yeah.
target audience, marketing strategies, putting in more money than time.
using influence to take advantage of the inexperienced, oh yeah.
target audience, marketing strategies, flapping your gums until you rhyme.
buzz words fly away. they'll all forget your name once you've wasted all their time.

i can't picture this house without us here.

do i love people
or just their things
i can't tell if i'm grown up who i wanna be
am i an asshole
when with my friends
been left alone for too long inside my head
i don't know what i want or what i like but i know that i want to be liked, and it seems they don't like me much at all
do i like people
or just fitting in
i don't like the song i've had on repeat for a year
am i an asshole
when with my friends
i don't want them to think of me like this
i don't know what i want or what i like but i know that i want to be liked, and it seems they don't like me much at all

i'm writing on the bench in my backyard.
i'm throwing my own wrench to make things hard.
i guess that's how it goes in my backyard.
i'm mulling over words i never wrote.
distracted by distortions in my throat,
i can't remember how it all went.
i only know that it was different.
my memory fails me miserably,
upon the daily, like whatever i read,
goes in through my eyes,
exits out through my nose,
and i'll never find out what it is that is knows,
and i'm sorry for when,
i forget to disclose, that
i'm writing on the bench in my backyard.
i'm trying to recall but it gets hard.
i guess that how it goes in my backyard.
i'm guessing the wrong words and faking it.
i'm glad i got this far but i should quit.
i guess that's how it goes in my backyard.
