Oh I'd like to know, What you've seen before, I laid eyes on you, And you, Saw the floor. We swam, In that lake, I dove to the ground, I stayed in the dark, Take me, Spin me round. Ah...Oh...Ah... Oh I'd like to know, What you've seen before me. Ah...Oh..Ah...

Study Abroad 03:44
I doubt myself from time to time, And I don't want to talk to anyone, When self-worth is hard to find, In your eyes, I see the setting sun. I wanna drown the voice of people, But save for me just a few, I'd get by with friends and family, But I won't go on, Without hearing from you. So let's make plans, before, the week is through while we sit in your room, And we lay outside and think of things to do. I know it was wrong when I thought it was a lie, But it seemed so real, then I drank too much and walked alone that night. I wanna study abroad soon, but keep the fire burning home down South, and I'll tell you stories beneath the moon, and they'll flow like water, from mouth to mouth. So let's make plans, before, the week is through while we sit in my room, or we could lay outside and think of things to do. I know it was wrong when I thought it was a lie, but it seemed so real that I grabbed your hand and walked into the night.

Breezy 03:52
I go outside and the streets are wet. The sky is black and then I start to forget why I came here and what's going on. The wind starts to pick up and the night races on. I'll crawl into a tunnel or wait up in a tree. I'll smell the ocean and the blackened breeze. A smile will awake my face and the black will turn to light. Then we can have some fun and dance throughout the night.

Camera 02:42

I want a cold wind to blow right up my path. Please hurry sky and just turn black, I want it black. I close my eyes and lift my head up to the clouds. A candle burns I hear her turn I can't go now. Please don't let me go, say, "Stay right here with me." Cause I don't wanna think, of leaving... I sit alone in a room and think about time. I think about all your friends and I think about mine. I want a bigger amp and a nicer guitar. I wanna sail on a boat and travel by stars. And I don't wanna waste the time... I don't wanna waste your time...

Hammers 03:36
You are like a hammer that keeps coming down. I don't know why you keep coming 'round. And it's getting cold outside. Your warmth, it draws me here. While these days are lonely times, it's a smile that makes it clear that I don't want to be alone forever and I won't be here for long, and while we're in this winter weather together I'll make you warm and feel like home. Some days, I try so hard just to forget who you are but in this small little town, I don't have to look very far. When I hear you all the time, it scares me to think it's real, that there is no cure to find when the seasons make me feel that I don't want to be alone forever, and now I won't be here for long, and while we're in this winter weather together, I'll make you warm and feel like home.

Star Maps 03:37
I smell the sea blue, I see the sky black, and I don't need you, to ruin that. I hear the ocean, I feel the waves, on a sailboat, I spend my days. The weather knows me, I can tell. She comes on quickly, and fills my sails. The air is salty, my breath is pure. The stars will guide me, far from shore. If I asked you to come on board, would you be true, and give your word?

about

This is the first collection of Bonis songs I did in Oxford, MS. Almost all of the drums were done using a $5 keyboard and the electric guitar comes from an $80 Squire Bullet and a 10 watt amp. The vocals were recorded in a bathroom and all the lyrics were inspired from living in an apartment and a crush.
