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 meAnd 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 diedThe demon 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 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
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
