“Dying Out West” is the 2nd song from Lil Peep and Lil Tracy’s 2017 project CÅSTLES II. The song eerily foreshadows Peep’s eventual death while on tour in November of 2017.
[Intro]
(Ch— Charlie Shuffler)
[Chorus: Lil Peep]
All this stress, look at this mess
Look at my head, I'm better off dead
Dyin' out west, tryin' my best
Layin' in bed, I was comin' down then
No more pain, locked away
I go insane, I'm so insane
In my brain, everyday
I go insane, I'm so insane
Leave me alone tonight, I'm good on my own tonight
I'm on the road tonight, I'm goin' home tonight
Leave me alone tonight, I'm good on my own tonight
I'm on the road tonight, I'm goin' home tonight
[Verse: Lil Tracy]
Look in the mirror, I see a demon
I'm barely breathing, my shadow is bleeding
On the highway, baby, I'm speeding
I'm leavin' the city, you should be with me
Two weeks with the same old jeans on
I know you want to die, baby, this is your theme song
Like a switchblade, baby, just hold on
Like a switchblade, baby, just hold on
[Chorus: Lil Peep]
All this stress, look at this mess
Look at my head, I'm better off dead
Dyin' out west, tryin' my best
Layin' in bed, I was comin' down then
No more pain, locked away
I go insane, I'm so insane
In my brain everyday
I go insane, I'm so insane
Leave me alone tonight, I'm good on my own tonight
I'm on the road tonight, I'm goin' home tonight
Leave me alone tonight, I'm good on my own tonight
I'm on the road tonight, I'm goin' home tonight

Lil Peep & Lil Tracy released dying out west on Mon Feb 06 2017.
So basically me and Peep didn’t make these songs in person. I sent the beats via email, and he sang over them with Tracy. But specifically for “Past The Castles” and “Dying Out West” I hadn’t known he used those beats until I saw him at a show in LA. I don’t remember if he was performing that night...
