Afraid to Die is Jacob Whitesides’ first release of 2021 and marks the beginning of his new project where he will be releasing a song per month for the year of 2021.
[Verse 1]
I don't think that I wanna die
I think I'm just scared to be alive
In that moment I realize
I'm terrified
[Verse 2]
I don't think that I wanna die
But it's been so long since I've cried
And all my feelings have moved to my mind
And they've capsized
[Pre-Chorus]

From my head to my toes and consume me
They race through my veins
Change how I speak and they move me
[Chorus]
Have I become my sadness?
Has it become my truth?
When you become your sadness
What do you do?
[Bridge]

But I can't bring you down this road I'm on
You would be better all alone
The dark is not where you belong
[Outro]
Fake motherfuckers always say that they miss you
Fake motherfuckers always say that they miss you
