The song was played over the end credits of the episode.

The track was the lead single from the album. It was also previously used on the soundtrack of the Netflix series Orange is the New Black and on Grey’s Anatomy.
Moses Sumney himself wrote the song in collaboration with Matthew Otto. A song that features Sumney’s heart-wrenchingly beautiful vocals, and stunningly written lyrics. Lyrics like:
Hollow one
With inverted tongue
From whence does fulfillment come
When I expel
From this mortal shell
I die for living numb
