"If you are a fan of Sage Francis or Brother Ali, you’ll love Tim Stiles. He’s smart and silly, in all of the best possible ways."

"What does it take to relieve pressure fostered
From falling off your rocker
Onto the floor between two vaulted doors
Four paper squares made of blotter?
Barely staying afloat within wakes of water
It's taking a toll on your posture
Once there's no more you can take
Make an escape on a helicopter
Whose blades are made from limbs of a monster
Engine fueled by prescription slips,
Hamster wheel turning Guinea pigs
Who throw caution to the wind to give lift to the chopper
In this world, I have a lot to offer
But consistent days of inconsistent thought
Have me anger fraught, confused and locked
In constant state of hot and bothered
What is it gonna take to set me straight?
Can't even slow my brain down to meditate proper
Don't dare take me to the doctor
For now, let me self-medicate the problem
Break all the rules with my ghouls and goblins
In a cave wall painted by broken promises
What have I got to prove to anyone
Besides myself in solace?
The proof is in the pudding I've used to polish
Fossils of mollusks, shells now solid
Once I exit from the columns
And my dark mood is abolished...
My hand-shakes will bring all the noise to the yard of imposters
A void filled by broken down cars and dead authors
Allowing cheap thrills to heal the scars of a pill popper
Just take me somewhere...
My hand-shakes will bring all the noise to the yard of imposters
A void filled by broken down cars and dead authors
Allowing cheap thrills to heal the scars of a pill popper
Just take me somewhere...
Or I'll remain a slave to this dragon and chase it often..."
