Toy Soldier

I have only words to play with

Under a pseudonym, I'll write them

I can't be honest with myself

It's a murder mystery unsolved

But I heard it was laced with fentanyl

What am I to do with all this sorrow?

There's so much to be sad about these days, days

But the war ain't over, little toy soldier

This is the calm before the storm

You wanna raise hell with your dead friends

And burn the candle at both ends

The war ain't over, little toy soldier

This is the calm before the storm
