A Car, a Torch, a Death
[Verse 1]The air begins to feel a little thinAs I start the car and then I beginTo add the miles piled up behind meI barely feel a smile deep inside me
[Verse 2]And I began to envy the headlights driving southI wanna crack the door so I can just fall outBut then I remember when you packed my carYou reached in the back and buckled up your heartFor me to drive away with
[Chorus]I began to understand why God died
[Verse 3]The demon sat there waiting on her porchIt was a little dark so he held a makeshift torchAnd when my car was far out of sightHe crept in her room and stayed there for the night
[Verse 4]And then I felt chills in my bonesThe breath I saw was not my ownI knew my skin that wrapped my frameWasn't made to play this gameThen I saw him, torch in handHe laid it out, what he had plannedAnd then I said, I'll take the gravePlease just send them all my way[x2]
[Chorus]I began to understand why God died
[Outro]The air begins to feel a little thinAs we're waiting for the morning to beginBut for now you told me hold this jarAnd when I looked inside I saw it held your heart
For me to walk away withI began to understand why God died
