A Car, A Torch, A Death- Twenty One Pilots

23 1 3
                                    

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 begin 

To understand 

Why God died 


The demons 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 


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


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
