Lyrics:
Andromeda galaxy's outside the window, and I've been adrift by the crystals that wink out in harmony/ 
signals deflect through the pinholes that alternate blinks with their colorless glow/
I slip through the folds in a ship that escaped its bottle, I got the whole hull, painted all gold/
cold in the cosmos, brain unfurls into a 1970's space-age novel/

now the Pinwheel galaxy is outside the window, the windshield cracks accentuate the starlight/
off-white spheres of ice are circled in the mist, the shadows of the solar system huddled 'round the bonfire/
but I'm drifting past in a bucket of bolts that's stuck in a solar wind gust of comet tail dust/
in abundance rushing towards the crust of everything that ever was and ever will be, I'm just hoping that my feet don't fail me/

a universe in a tea cup, need to be beamed up, need a key to release, the secrets sealed up/
need a seat to see the freedom, I seek, I sleep seasons, seems infeasible/
it's a voyage, I need to repair the pipes that burst in imagination systems, that flooded up with a vengeance/
and caused a slipstream that swallowed me whole from out the Tadpole galaxy and turned my ship into a tiny crumpled ball of wreckage/

like fuck, there's nothing outside of the window, except for a star-gate sequence on loop/
and I float out there, listless, spiraling inside dimensions that had all their ceilings removed/
in an arcade game long forgot in the backroom, I can't breathe and I'm doomed, deep in this vacuum/
it's almost tranquil, zoned out in my helmet, this vanishing act was.. past-due/

Pittock (feat. Chris Wright & PC Pete)

The only more frightening thing than watching a Black man
Be honest in America, is being an honest Black man in America

It's the return of the guillotine
You known to make some whack bars stretch like neoprene
Ain’t no faking the funk punk chump you a
Dump truck of fuckery, but luckily
Whyandotte's the king of taking the trash out
You assed out, bad mouth him
One more 'gin, one more sin
You gotta pay for
Pour him up one more gin
You gotta lay low
If he says your name in a song
They gonna google you, but that ain’t really taking you far
You ain't nothing without your anger
Putting your friends in danger
Coming home from a hard day of work of being a stranger
You’re a shadow and you know it
You are not a fucking poet
You’re a child
Act like one and start growing
Know your place fam
You can not afford to face plant
You can not afford the recognition of his grace fam
You should not retort, resort to staying quiet as a mouse
Stay the fuck inside your house

Nobody asked you a question
Now you run your mouth he gotta teach you a lesson
At first this was a curse but deep inside it's a blessing
Teeth are getting sharper by the hour respect it
Please respect

Nobody asked you a question
Now you run your mouth he gotta teach you a lesson
At first this was a curse but deep inside it's a blessing
Teeth are getting sharper by the hour respect it
Please respect


Serving rock like Aesop
Fiends come in ASAP
Sheep stalk in his parts
Sticky icky like tree sap
Niggas iffy huh the woods are getting tricky huh
Blowing down your log cabin easy with the spliffy huh
He gunning for the top at the least
Feed the whole fam with a feast
Why the world staring at the wolf
When all the nigga wanna do is eat
Leave that man alone
Ain't no weapon in possession nigga thats a phone
He a shark, if he stop moving his heart stopping
He ain't ask to be this way, he had no other option
Cause you made him
But he give you the heebeegeebees
Genius level on Feddy Fellini
Tryna be a newer Archimedes
They don't believe me but

Nobody asked you a question
Now you run your mouth he gotta teach you a lesson
At first this was a curse but deep inside it's a blessing
Teeth are getting sharper by the hour respect it
Please respect

Nobody asked you a question
Now you run your mouth he gotta teach you a lesson
At first this was a curse but deep inside it's a blessing
Teeth are getting sharper by the hour respect it
Please respect

A Lesson In Crying Wolf

IBYWIWFD

Hailing from Portland, Oregon, Miles began making music in 2016. In 2018 they became a founding member of punk-rock-inspired internet rap group @staydeadboys, and began their solo career in earnest in 2020.

Miles’ music reflects and embraces the contradictions of life and identity, of confidence and humility, of autonomy and limit, of humor and even joy in sadness. When we befriend our pain it dissipates. When we share our parallel journeys from a place of authenticity and ownership, vulnerability is a strength. Art is a spiritual practice that can be as serious or as lightweight as the moment calls for.

Miles is working on their debut album.

In their early teens Miles memorized an encyclopedia of lyrics while falling in love with the writing, craft, and conviction of artists like Big L, Rakim, and Ms. Lauryn Hill. Like many contemporaries (such as JID and Sylvan LaCue), Miles’ work centers on interpreting the spirit and sensibilities of an earlier generation of hip-hop through the lenses of modern aesthetics and of their own life and experiences.
