A Car, a Torch, a Death Songtext
von twenty one pilots

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 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

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
