A Car, A Torch, A Death

[Verse 1] The air begins to feel a little thin As I start the car and then I begin To add the miles piled up behind me I barely feel a smile deep inside me [Verse 2] And I began to envy the headlights driving south I wanna crack the door so I can just fall out But then I remember when you packed my car You reached in the back and buckled up your heart For me to drive away with [Chorus] I began to understand why God died [Verse 3] The demon sat there waiting on her porch It was a little dark so he held a makeshift torch And when my car was far out of sight He crept in her room and stayed there for the night [Verse 4] And then I felt chills in my bones The breath I saw was my not own I knew my skin that wrapped my frame Wasn't made to play this game Then I saw him, torch in hand He laid it out, what he had planned And then I said, I'll take the grave Please just send them all my way And then I felt chills in my bones The breath I saw was my not own I knew my skin that wrapped my frame Wasn't made to play this game Then I saw him, torch in hand He laid it out, what he had planned And then I said, I'll take the grave Please just send them all my way [Chorus] I began to understand why God died [Outro] The air begins to feel a little thin As we're waiting for the morning to begin But for now you told me hold this jar And when I looked inside I saw it held your heart For me to walk away with I began to understand why God died
