-A Car, A Torch, A Death-

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

And I begin to envy the headlights driving southI want to 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 withI began to understand why God died

The demons sat there waiting on her porchIt was a little dark so we held a makeshift torchAnd when my car was far out of sightHe crept in her room and stayed there for the night

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 gameAnd then 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

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 gameAnd then 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 wayI began to understand why God died

The air begins to feel a little thinAs we're waiting for the morning to beginBut for now you told me to hold this jarAnd when I looked inside I saw it held your heartFor me to walk away withI began to understand why God died
