This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
I'm at the beginning sweating
In the grip of the lion's jaw
I'm rolling my small town over
I'm watching these buildings fall
Once, twice and it's dead
Pull the trigger, make the bed
They carried the body down Broadway
Held high above their heads
Old men sweat and pray
At peace or just at the end
So are we the torturer's horse
Pulling in duty or confusion
"But we got it straight from the source"
"Well first it went through the blood and the venom"
And that poison ran its course
When we thought the world was small
In my city
Not every church a steeple
But every man
A cross to bear
In the grip of the lion's jaw
I'm rolling my small town over
I'm watching these buildings fall
Once, twice and it's dead
Pull the trigger, make the bed
They carried the body down Broadway
Held high above their heads
Old men sweat and pray
At peace or just at the end
So are we the torturer's horse
Pulling in duty or confusion
"But we got it straight from the source"
"Well first it went through the blood and the venom"
And that poison ran its course
When we thought the world was small
In my city
Not every church a steeple
But every man
A cross to bear

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
