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 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.
[2x:]
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…
