Toy Soldier Lyrics by Livingston

An Unlikely Origin Story - EP

2021

Follow the march of the battle drum
And bury the questions where they came from
Just pretend if I’m starting to regret it tomorrow
Killing it all
Push it back down every time but still I felt it rise from the trenches the stolen happy endings I chased
Cause I can’t conquer this without you
These bullets still won't get through
But I’m still crashing down cause there’s more walls I need to break through
I do this to myself every time
Cause that’s the only way that I survivе
So Cover up my flaws
And run when you hear my call in thе night
Cause lately I’ve been caught in the middle and I’m just Getting older
Will you be there to stop my fall
I know you’ve seen it all in my eyes
So break down the lies cause I know that
I could never be the toy soldier
I followed our path, you became my home
Now artillery fire casts your shadow
Through the fragments that we lost
I traded love for fame, despite the cost
When did our love turn to sacrifice, I try
But these broken wings won’t fly
Without someone to make it right
I’ll leave the city just to make it back tonight
Cause I can’t conquer this without you
These bullets still won't get through
But I’m still crashing down cause there’s more walls I need to break through
I do this to myself every time
Cause that’s the only way that I survive
So Cover up my flaws
And run when you hear my call in the night
Cause lately I’ve been caught in the middle and I’m just Getting older
Will you be there to stop my fall
I know you’ve seen it all in my eyes
So break down the lies cause I know that
I could never be the toy soldier
Act your age
Cause the world will not change
For a child with a cape
Your savior awaits
In the fields where you once learned that you could fly
Manhattan lights they spoke, they told you that all these things will come in time
Ships in the night, they wrote, and they said that love shines auburn in the night
Manhattan lights they spoke, they told you that all these things will come in time
So don’t lose sight, you’ll change a life
You’ll change a life
So Cover up my flaws
And run when you hear my call in the night
Cause lately I’ve been caught in the middle and I’m just Getting older
Will you be there to stop my fall
I know you’ve seen it all in my eyes
So break down the lies cause I know that
I could never be the toy soldier
