about

the first single off our upcoming album Good Grief

lyrics

When I die I don't want posthumous fame
When you burn my body, please bury my name
Delete my voice memos and destroy all my tapes
Let my streaming fees lapse and let my memory escape

Collect the ten dollars in loyalties I made
Blow it all on sourdough and lemonade
Just don't expand on any framework I laid
And quit playing any songs I played

When I die I don't want posthumous fame
You can't win if you're out of the game
Direct your praise to someone who deserves the acclaim
And can move on and stay humble like success never came

And if my art gains traction while I'm living still
Will it ever be enough? I don't know if it will
When desire becomes overkill
Some dreams are better left unfulfilled
Yeah
