Lyrics
[verse]
Started as a couple words tossed back and forth
Turned into a battle that spread across the north
Never meant for this to pull in everybody's friends
Never meant to watch a simple beef reach violent ends
I lay awake at night replaying how it grew
Wondering if I could've stopped it if I knew
But pride kept feeding pride and anger kept the score
Until it wasn't about the message anymore
[chorus]
We're just marching like toy soldiers in a game we didn't build
Falling one by one for pride that never gets fulfilled
I'm putting down my weapon, I don't wanna fight no more
This ain't the kind of war worth marching for
[verse]
Watched a friendship crack because I couldn't let it go
Watched the whole thing spiral into something we don't know
Everybody picking sides like it's a game to win
But nobody remembers how the whole thing did begin
I got kids who's watching, got a family who cares
I don't wanna leave 'em legacy of empty wars and scares
Time to be the one who breaks the cycle, breaks the chain
Time to put the anger down and let go of the pain
[chorus]
We're just marching like toy soldiers in a game we didn't build
Falling one by one for pride that never gets fulfilled
I'm putting down my weapon, I don't wanna fight no more
This ain't the kind of war worth marching for
[bridge]
No more casualties for words that don't matter
No more voices lost to violence and chatter
I'm laying down my sword, I'm laying down my pride
Peace is worth more than being right on the other side
[chorus]
We're just marching like toy soldiers in a game we didn't build
Falling one by one for pride that never gets fulfilled
I'm putting down my weapon, I don't wanna fight no more
This ain't the kind of war worth marching for
