Afraid Lyrics by Thoreau

Reflections - EP

2018

What are you afraid of, never finding love
Living in the backseat or dying too young
Scared of the future or who you’ve become
Preaching from above tell me what are you afraid of

What are you afraid of, never finding love
Living in the backseat or dying too young
Scared of the future or who you’ve become
Preaching from above tell me what are you afraid of

I could leave a list around the block
Scared of heights, scared of flashing lights and dying alone
Y’all should be familiar cuz I know it’s relatable
It’s true we all gonna die it’s inevitable

But I’m trying not to feed on negativity
It probably wouldn’t be as hard if you were here with me
If I asked you would you come and disappear with me
Go and fucking blow the stratosphere with me

I’m just bullshitting know we’d never make it out
We just smoke and scheme yeah that’s how we take it out
We would stay up all night and lay it out
And like that me and her just fucking skated out
Peace

What are you afraid of, never finding love
Living in the backseat or dying too young
Scared of the future or who you’ve become
Preaching from above tell me what are you afraid of

What are you afraid of, never finding love
Living in the backseat or dying too young
Scared of the future or who you’ve become
Preaching from above tell me what are you afraid of

I care what people think and I'm too afraid to admit it
Like who I'm tryna and wether people fucking with it
Maybe I should get some Xanax or get a face tat
Sink the ship call it Titanic you famous asap

Afraid of never being happy for once
Afraid of never having friends that I trust
My heart's stuck on switching lanes
Unsustainable
I guess I chalk it up to growing pains
Unexplainable

Yeah I'm burnt out on confidence can't you tell
I kinda resent you wishing me well
Yeah this might not be good for clientele
But I speak my fucking mind how I feel
Tell em

You sure you know what you're doing
Are you asking me cuz you care or just interviewing
Questioning me on all the self destructive shit I'm pursuing
Just to pick yourself up it's obvious what you're doing
Okay

They say I kinda sound like Drake
Really I'm fucking flattered at the shit that they say
I see the honor and the pride being compared to the great
But who really wants to compete with who they impersonate
But let me make this clear so none of y'all can mistake
The dude is my fucking idol from seventeen to this day
And if it's God's plan I'll make it defining my own lane
The shit has yet to be seen but in my heart I know it's fate
Like

What are you afraid of, never finding love
Living in the backseat or dying too young
Scared of the future or who you’ve become
Preaching from above tell me what are you afraid of

What are you afraid of, never finding love
Living in the backseat or dying too young
Scared of the future or who you’ve become
Preaching from above tell me what are you afraid of
