A Car, a Torch, a Death

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 And I begin to envy the headlights driving south I want to 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 I began to understand why God died The demon sat there waiting on her porch It was a little dark, so we held a makeshift torch And when my car was far out of sight He crept in her room and stayed there for the night And then I felt chills in my bones The breath I saw was not my own I knew my skin that wrapped my frame Wasn't made to play this game And 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 not my own I knew my skin that wrapped my frame Wasn't made to play this game And 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" I began to understand, why God died The air begins to feel a little thin As we're waiting for the morning to begin But for now you told me to 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
