~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The title and lyrics of In A Room With God refer to the presence we feel when alone; some call it consciousness or God. Even in moments of intense dissociative loneliness, we can’t escape the detached voice of self-talk that either drives us deeper into sadness or grounds us in the neutrality of a reality outside ourselves. The world is lovingly indifferent.

If ego is killing you, let go of the ego. If love is killing you, let go of the attachment.

SPOTIFY etc.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Stuck In My Ways explores the dichotomy between the importance we assign our dreams and their relative unimportance outside of the contexts we imagine for them. A one-track mind can beget a narrow routine and overall perspective of life, and it’s rewarding to poke fun at the arrogance and earnesty of creative (or egocentric) ambitions.

The deeper I dig, the more I laugh at myself, yet such moments of revelation never deter the dream.

@xmittens

had to re-upload

now i’m a shy guy
find i
twiddling my fingers
in the corner at a party
cus i’m bored of always starting
a conservation that dies
amalgamation devices
of getting people to talk
i’m wishing that i was psychic

she fiddling on her sidekick
probably texting superman
i’m watching how she move her hands
plotting all these who’s and when’s
fuckboys conducing plans, make her lose her pants
but given the chance, I'd honestly do the same

see i’m the bitch here, you can call me louis lane
and these strangers are my kryptonite, can hardly use my brain
no tricks up my sleeve cus my cards are all in play
and she tells me that i lost
i forgot what was the game

shuffle the deck again
mumble that we best as friends
and i agree whole-heartedly
but we can be benefriends
i won’t catch feelings
was never good at sports
or paying attention; never something that i could afford

i’m broke honey
no money to buy you flowers
or take you out on a date
we can eat out in the shower
that’s a 5-star restaurant
my god, wettest spot
didn’t expect rain
next date, bring an umbrella

but none of this happens...
i’m in the corner
twiddle thumbs, just imagining
i want you bad, miss
but you will never know it cus I keep it to myself
it’s like looking at a book
trying to read it on the shelf

crack spines
see if your energies match mine
blasting for this gold, striking matches in mines
when will i feel like the goddamn man again?
panhandling
this point i’d settle for mannequins

i front, but lately i’ve been lonely as fuck
and nobody’s got my back
no one holding me up
heart beating like this meat is just as cold as the cut
same lame twiddle patterning that flows through my thumbs

it’s never done
piano like thelonious monk
i twiddle thumbs
thiago is the loneliest chump
i twiddle thumbs
twiddle thumbs

Take a trip without the drugs, that's a race to the bottom.

Lyrics:

Whoever said a plane could solve any problems
I'll spin a hundred thousand miles drinking straight from the bottle
Before I load up on a tin can with wings for the slalom
And a take a trip without the drugs, that's a race to the bottom, yeah
Can you keep a secret code, I got messages with hoes
I ain't talking to my bros, don't bother
Cause they got women of they own, never thought that we'd be grown,
Saw some shoes I didn't own so I bought em
Yeah that's the life that I've been living lately
Centerfolds and kissing babies
Gone a dozen days 'fore they wonder if I'm missing maybe
Been trynna remember what my purpose is, it's getting hazy
I don't wanna feel like I'm alone so I need my lady
And she wanna feel like she's all mine
But I'm probably the worst when not online
So hit me what your subtweets I'll be fine
If I'm running bet it's always towards your mind


Summers like an open door, but I don't wanna walk through it
Got a lotta thoughts in your head, but you don't wanna talk through it


I can't afford no emotional discretion
If i open up my soul don't go firing no weapons
I been running on this coal like the fire was a blessing
But I still burned my feet on the ashes
Patches got the raps, but lately I been singing more
Ever since i met that little maverick, I'm swinging more
Catch me on that high beam, put me on your wide screen,
I forgot to bring the chords
So maybe we can disconnect to reconnect, reconfigure routers
Have an intellect and intersect our thoughts without the power
Like a revolution, recomputing factors i'm a spacious student
Got a lot of room to improve but I space and a lose it
Start an ageless movement, 
Motivate some kids who way too young to try and face the music
Contradicting, selfless, prudent, arrogant,
Bordering on alcoholic, parents went
They separate ways so I don't know what marriage is, 
I wear my flaws

LIFE A EXE FILE I DON'T RUN THAT SHIT

SLJ Freestyle

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.
