[Verse]
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 bucked up your heart
for me to drive away with
[chorus]
I began to understand
Why god died
[2x]
[Verse]
The demon 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
[2x]
[chorus]
I began to understand
Why god died
[2x]
[Outro]
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
