[HOOK X 2]
Living in the moment
Sip it or we roll it
Ain’t no need to tape this
That ain’t what escape is
Living in the moment..
Yea
Living in the moment..
Yea

[VERSE]
Living in the moment
Living with vices
Ain’t it the nicest
Talkin bout prices
I couldn’t afford my raps put a foot in the door
Could there be more to this
A new way to slaughter this
All amiss in my mind so benign
Yea I’m numb as shit
Got me thinkin that I’m dumb as shit
That I don’t exist
Then I sit down take a sip
In the abyss again
Cognitive dissonance
That syringe better not be ya end
Hope it’s not mine only ever smoked 10
MGs of the H
And at these rates?
I’m at ease my fate
Shit it’s too late
Ate mollies to wake
Xannies to snooze
The damage is due
I vanish and I manage on cue
Hopeless dude can’t help myself
Can’t check my health
Can only talk of necklace wealth
Helter skelter belt around her arm
And it felt so wrong let me help through song don’t
(Listen to the verse, listen to the chorus
Visualize the worst while you pour this)
Drink for thought
I over-drink over-think over-sink
Puke look like letters and ink
Tethered and linked
I rather said I’d better my ways
I sat in a daze
And labored in my laze for days
As to Bs and Bs to Cs
Cs to Ds
At least the trees for now will cease malise
Malaise I mean I trace my fiend-ish tendencies
And end em where my pen will lead

[BRIDGE X 2]
Livin in the past that ain’t no better
Livin in the now I’m go getter
Livin for tomorro never hit the lotto
Live for now mottos
Keep me from the sorrow

Living in the Moment

Miles has been recognized by fans and artists alike for their assertive, agile delivery, dense, interwoven lyrics, uniquely personal and playful songwriting voice, and diverse, dedicated output. Hailing from Portland, Oregon, Miles began making music in 2016 and gradually connected and collaborated with pioneers of the SoundCloud lo-fi hip-hop scene (such as your best friend jippy, Chris Wright, Atwood, teeawgo, Dahm., and love-sadKID). In 2018 they became a founding member of punk-rock-inspired internet rap group Cemetery Drive (@staydeadboys). The group has amassed over 40 million streams and continues to evolve its sound and audience.

In 2020 Miles began to truly establish themselves as a solo artist by releasing monthly singles (now the Pittock Compilation) and Make Way For Goodbyes with bandmate Cloud Mac, a love-song hip-hop mixtape that amassed well over a million plays. In 2022 they dropped fan-favorite EPs The Jippy Tape and Living with Yourself, followed by collaborative project D.M.T. in 2023 and a series of related singles, now Lurk (a lot).

Miles is working on their debut album.

Miles is inspired by the convergence of crafted, heartfelt songwriting with equally skillful and inspired musicality, as is found in the catalog of artists new and old, such as Sylvan LaCue, Ms. Lauryn Hill, Mac Miller, Rakim, Big L, and André 3000.
