D- Boy 04:40
Standing on the corner, tryna make cheddar. It had been an alright day, Id'e done better. I popped a Parli in my mouth, I was listening to Cudder. I hear a voice behind me it sounded like Butter. Her shallow eyes quickly passed me by; I'm hypnotized. I'm not her kind of guy. I take off my headies no longer hear Cudder. The phone has switched the tune to Modern Lovers. I want to rage. I want to burn sage. I'm a bird, I need no cage. I want to moan. I need a throne. I'm a dog, I need my Bone. Her shallow eyes quickly passed me by; I'm hypnotized. I'm not her kind of guy.

The Long Run 03:08
Well Momma always said that Highschool'd be better Pulled the sweater on my head, thought that it'de be better off. While the lovers feeling high, and the lonely feeling low but that's the way it goes. I know. People always trying to push me around, I'm looking everywhere to find my new sound. I can never clarify what I want, yet somehow expect to get it in the long run. Well daddy always said that college would be better, pulled the sweater on my head, thought that it'de be better on. While the rich are feeling high, and the poor are feeling low, but that's the way it goes, I know. People always trying to push me around I'm looking everywhere to find my new sound. Yet you can't ever work for what you want and somehow expect to get it in the long run.

Stage 1: Lust or Romantic Passion You were shy and I was contemplative. At first it felt platonic, then we were quickly quite titillated, we made out as demonstrated, a boyish lust, it emasculated, and the virgin angle menstruated, and it was real and honest lust. Stage 2: Attraction or Romantic Passion It was young and it was loyal and our love it radiated like Chernobyl, after the meltdown, before we exposed our frowns, before we knew ups, and no downs; it was real and honest attraction. Stage 3: Attachment or Commitment So here it stands, there was no plan, I guess time was an allusion, alluding to two wed-locked hands. Now there is an equal understandem love is not you or I it's now tandem and if there's fists to be thrown will landem' cuz its real and honest commitment.

I don't know why but I can't stop thinking of you. I watched 3 movies today, I even cleaned my room. All the things that I do to keep my mind off of you. How do you spell a word like Pretty? To be honest that words lost its meaning to me. O wait! I know how it goes, I'll spell it like this and it will go B-R-I-T-T-A-N-Y to me. That's how you spell the word Pretty.

Destiny 04:35
Saw you about a year ago, I know. I wanted to see you more, but you had to go. And now I'm stuck here in Greeley and your at Columbia University. But I feel this is Destiny, had a dream about you and me it got the best of me. Baby, now I feel now, that this is Destiny. And in our dream we talked a lot. And in our dream we had a really good shot. Then I wake up and its all real again. To tell you the truth honey, I hate your just a really good friend. But I feel this is Destiny, had a dream about you and me it got the best of me. Baby, now I feel now, that this is Destiny.

Sanctify 06:59
Sanctify that sweet sound. Been hearing it for days, nothings coming out. I feel it right in my finger tips. Sanctified, the poet spits. Then my blood it boils brown and I gentrify that dissonant sound Til babe it wears you down. Sanctify, my o my right now. I just can't wait I'm already awake now. Sanctified, whats your message, whose your priest. Gentrified, rise the price up on the lease. Trust that it's worth the price Lust keeps you safe until the end of the night. Til' Babe it wears you down.

Tahnee Marie 03:44
I got a text last night, but it wasn't for me. And in this text it said, "I love you much, and miss you so. Some day we will be together, this I do know." but it wasn't for me. but for Tahnee Marie I then was baffled, I didn't know what to say. So I told her my name, and then I asked if she was ok. She said my niece Tahnee. Was driving a year ago. And her car flipped, and she died on the road. since then, I have longed for her company, I then thought that this text was also for me, not just for Tahnee Marie.

I tried to sing about it I tried to write about it but it wasn't writing down. So i composed a poem about it, show the whole world about it. On and on tried to understand, guess I never really could my man. The Real Life I met a man you see I real timely man you see asked him what it was all about, from women to man, and god as well 80 you think would make a man, said he never did understand The Real Life Tic Tock Tic Tock n' The Real Life

Well I woke on up and my thing rose up I tugged it on down then I went on out. Got my coffee ya my caffiene head it sparks up start my car up now and i drive it on out Cruising down old York I'll always see Lights that were once red have now turned green. It's the nicest shade of green I ever did see for a town that was once dark burgundy Go on out now on my way yay on ramp pops up lifes my forte yay yet on my way home I'll bitch and moan got a problem well don't ask me please no not me I think if my drink of life is natty ice then how can I expect a classy wife then I'll sleep and slumber sometimes nice yet if the bed bugs chose to feed then I'll feel strife Wake on up now help your mom out gratitude is never rude, and do good for you not that scared child inside of you in your review mirror you'll find you'll see all the red lights have not turned to green its the nicest shade of green i ever did see for a town that was once dark burgundy.

about

As a courtesy to you and to Bones Muhroni, I will thoroughly describe this record. So what are we dealing with? You, of course, know who you are. At least you have some idea. You know what you like, what you don't like, the friends you have, the family you will always have, this is life. Who is Bones Muhroni? He is not you, let's be honest, he is more me than you, and just like you feel about you, I feel about Bones Muhroni. It is an ever changing concept, my diary, a journal for my friends, a romantic time-keeper, and a stylistic memoir. I started this record in my room and did it all on an 8 track (Thank you Nick Hamlin for letting me borrow it FOR A YEAR!). It gave me a chance to be alone. What was once an 8 piece band had been placed in a strange spot; a new beginning. I could do whatever I wanted. Keep the name, change the name, get a new band together, go solo, go home. In this time of not knowing what to do; I was lent an 8-track. I was able to record myself for the first time. I got out some weird yet personal folk songs out, and I also got to be an engineer for the first time. In the latter half of the year, a new band started to form, and we continued to record in the living room on that same 8-track. At the end of 2016, an entire year of not knowing what I was going to do, I looked down and saw 10 tracks in front of me. I felt relieved, excited, bittersweet and grounded.
