Broken Toys Lyrics 

If your heart has ever been broken, if you've ever questioned your faith in true love, if you've ever thought you might not never feel whole again, this song was inspired by you...and written for you.  Click here to listen to the instrumental.

BROKEN TOYS

B.O.Y.S. broken girls and boys
T.O.Y.S. breaking hearts like toys
Leaving cracks that run and break us down
Love has got us all strung out now

B.O.Y.S. broken hearts and minds
T.O.Y.S. lego walls inside
Empty spaces where we used to laugh
Pain replaces faded photographs
   
          And it's sad, but true
          We don the armor but we're already broken in two
          We treat the trauma but we're already bleeding through

B.O.Y.S. broken girls and boys
T.O.Y.S. breaking hearts like toys
Feels like true love never lasts
Something's missing that you can't get back

B.O.Y.S. crossing hearts and minds
T.O.Y.S. killing faith and time
Sands keep slipping through the hour glass
Broken memories of a broken past
   
          And it's sad, but true
          We don the armor, but we're already broken in two 
          We treat the trauma but we're already bleeding through

                    But what if love is a second chance         
                    What if the last song is our first dance
                    What if I reach out my hand   
                    What if we fall before we learn how to land

Humpty Dumpty patchwork heart
Broken pieces fall apart
Humpty Dumpty hooks and eyes
Will put you back together over time...

Down In Miami (Rough Mix) Sneak Preview!!!!  

Well, you just never know how and when inspiration will strike and this one has a great story.  From the relentless winter that set the stage providing blizzard after blizzard of inspiration, to the New Years Day conversation that kicked off the process and challenged me to set a specific lyric in a genre outside of my comfort zone (thank you!), to the self imposed deadline that forced me to push myself...to the multiple personality disorder I had to invoke in order to sing the vocal parts of what should be least 3 different artists LOL  Good times! 

It's still so early on in the game with this one,  I can't wait to see where it goes from here and couldn't resist sharing it in it's infancy.   

Next Steps:
1.  Dedicated vocal session to replace scratch tracks
2.  Drop in live percussion straight from Alejo Calderon at Chango Records in Bogota, Columbia!
3.  Revisit instrumental for final tweaks
4.  Export and send for pro mix and master 

Deadline:  3/23/14
Enjoy the preview!
