[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
If your words are telling
When you say you don't need me
I know you've been dwelling
On something new
I took a look at your personal change
In contrast with your fathers traits
I know you don't wanna say it
So I'll be your tongue
I fell in love with your social cues
I stood by when you gave me clues
On how to get to know you
But still I came up short

[Prelude]
Dropped down and spin around
I'm on lockdown, boy lost and found
I wanna talk to you but I know that I can't, so
I'll have to settle for your dreams in the meantime

[Chorus]
Don't wake me up, I'm just starting
To see you when I dream, stay
I'm falling for you now
My guard is down

[Verse 2]
I got both hands up, you can shoot if you want to
But I don't wanna love anyone if it's not you
I'm falling down
I would love to talk but I can't right now
Woah-oh, you tried to tell me
I know you tried to save
My life and all around me
But you left and took the easy way

[Chorus]
Don't wake me up, I'm just starting
To see you when I dream, stay
I'm falling for you now
My guard is down

[Instrumental Outro]

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.
