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 begin to understand why God died.

The demons 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

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
