In episode 18 of the Burnt Ships Podcast, we dive into the making of our brand-new single “Lie Better.” Non and I break down how the song came together, what inspired the lyrics, and why it hits so hard when it comes to relationships, honesty, and emotional strategy. Let’s be real—relationships aren’t always black and white. Sure, being honest matters, but sometimes a little fib (or even a big one) feels like the kinder, smarter move. We’re not saying lying is the goal, but there are moments when bending the truth can actually protect feelings, keep the peace, or even bring people closer. So… when is it okay to “lie better”? We’re unpacking the messy, real-world side of love, honesty, and creation—soundtracked by some seriously good music from Burnt Ships.
