​twenty one pilots - A Car, a Torch, a Death 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

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"
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
