A Car, a Torch, a Death lyrics

[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 not my 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

[x2]

[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
