[Verse]
When the lights went dim, I slipped and fell
Who do I have the pleasure
Of this knuckle sandwich I prepared well
Strictly out of aggression
I'm not trying to hurt you bad
Say uncle if it gets too rough
Like a needle that needs new thread
I’m saying I'm running out of excuses
I'm far more than useless to you

[Chorus]
I am so useless to you
Far more than useless to you
Like a nomad that wields no better
I guess I’m pulling an all-nighter
Walking in the dark with spiders tonight

[Outro]
If I ever need you
Ever need you
Running tonight
If I ever need you
Ever need you
Running tonight

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.
