Nolan Lentz - Viral Funeral Lyrics

[Intro]
Refresh, reload, another tragedy to exploit
Pour out your hearts online, let's make this shit Detroit
Hashtag blessed, hashtag rest in peace
Another chance to show the world how much you f*cking bleed

[Verse 1]
Look at all these vultures circling fresh meat
First to post that status, man, ain't that sweet
"Thoughts and prayers" copy-paste, digital grief
Professional mourners on their social media streak
You ain't even know him, but you're crying on Live
Filming your reaction, hope those views survive
Turn notifications on, tragedy's trending now
Gotta get that sympathy, show 'em all just how

[Chorus]
Like, share, commodify the pain
Screenshot those tears, make that suffering gain
Performative grief, it's all just a game
Building your brand off somebody's name
(Off somebody's name)

[Verse 2]
Remember when loss was something sacred and real?
Before we turned every f*cking funeral into a meal
Content creators feasting on the aftermath
Tragedy vampires with their iPhone bath
"Link in bio for my full reaction video"
Monetizing misery, that's the way to go
Changed your profile picture, black and white filter on
Virtue signaling 'til the next trend comes along

[Bridge]
Algorithm feeds on fresh devastation
Turn that shit viral, cross-platform sensation
Comments section full of crying emojis
Fake-deep quotes from wannabe philosophers, homie

[Verse 3]
I've seen real grief in my community's eyes
When the factory closed, no cameras, no lies
But y'all turned suffering into a goddamn show
Social media martyrs, putting on a f*cking pro
Every notification's just another nail
In authenticity's coffin, watch it go on sale
Grief influencers with their perfect pose
Making bank while real pain just flows

[Chorus]
Like, share, commodify the pain
Screenshot those tears, make that suffering gain
Performative grief, it's all just a game
Building your brand off somebody's name
(Off somebody's name)

[Outro]

Drop a comment below, keep that grief alive
Welcome to the circus of digital death
Where even your last breath's worth some clout, I guess
