[Verse 1]
It's always funny when life is going well
All I can do is fall under the spell
Some days in my head is where I dwell
And sometimes I can't save myself from hell
I'm forever in the middle, I could snap or I could giggle
I have yet to find the thing that determines which way I'm leanin'
I'm rarely up on the scene and whenever I do get seen
Just know I wanted to do a show, give a fuck about an appearance
You talk, I never hear it, you dropped, I never seen it
Whether it's platinum or it sold five, still wouldn't wanna be ya
You pop, then end up freezin', locked in the box they see you
Stuck in the mud with creatures who never had your best interests
You thought shit could be different, now you just appeasing
People that don't really need you, you need them so bad you fiending

[Hook]
This life has got you
This life has got you
This life has got you
This life has got you

[Chorus]
Just another victim and you can't come back
Just another doll with a string in his back
Same old lines on the same old tracks
What
Just another victim and you can't come back
Just another doll with a string in his back
Same old lines on the same old tracks

[Break]
Wait
SESH
Bones
What

[Verse 2]
Same old number, brand new home
Just wish that I could call my little brother on the phone
Everything we done, I just wish that I could show 'em, I owe 'em
Forever better I gotta chance to know 'em
I dream about him every night, so every day I'm waking up
Picturing his face smiling, eyes lit up
Never have I seen such a beautiful picture
The sky don't get blue no more, it only get darker

[Hook]
This life has got me
This life has got me
This life has got me
This life has got me

Elmo Kennedy O'Connor (b. January 11th, 1994), popularly known as BONES (formerly Th@ Kid), is an underground rapper from Muir Beach, CA. He is one of the four members of the “Seshollowaterboyz” and has actively released music under several other aliases, such as surrenderdorthy, OREGONTRAIL, and Ricky A Go-Go.

During his childhood, he and his family moved to the small town of Howell, Michigan where he attended school. Eventually, he dropped out at the age of 16 to pursue rap music. His brother, Elliot O'Connor, now Bones' manager, suggested Elmo come live with him in Los Angeles, California. There, he recorded most of his mixtapes and eventually met Xavier Wulf, Chris Travis, and Eddy Baker, people he eventually toured and performed with under their collective name SeshHollowWaterboyz (SHWB). He is of Irish ancestry and also the grandson of actor Robert Culp.

He’s known for his “emo rap” style of music, which is labeled as strictly his own, as well as the rapid rate he releases music (including 100 music videos and over 50 mixtapes), his resistance to joining major record labels, and charging money for his music, despite major interest by many.
