Song lyrics

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...
