hula hoops!

we had a ridiculous time making our first baby titled "Whisper Down the Lane"  it is eleven tracks of wholesome fun and we're proud and we think you'll like it.  It's sure to cure a day that's a bore, it'll wash you up on the shore of a place you adore, isn't that what music is made for?
anyway!

if you are interested in purchasing our first album you have a few options:
1.) Come see us perform live!  We will always have them for sale there, and no shipping, and never any tax!
2.) Toy Soldiers Emporium: toysoldiers.bigcartel.com
3.) Our "blog": toysoldiers.tumblr.com

and once again, sixteen million thanks to everyone that helped us SELL OUT our album release party. and fourty two million thanks to everyone that helped make this album come to be.

everyone enjoy your morning/day/night!

love ya

Oh my dear
It's something so strange
you can't walk with me and you can't walk away
where is your love?
I need you and you need me
Instead we set eachother free
Where is our love?
I love you like nothing I've ever loved before
Because part of you is mine
And part of me is yours
And I finally know why.
And one day
The past will go away
Until then
I'll listen to you rain
You are my love
We were built beneath the sunshine
They gave us a heart and a thousand eyes
To go find our love
I love you like nothing I've ever loved before
Because part of you is mine
And part of me is yours
And I finally know why.
I wonder where you wander
When I watch you disappear
You're lying right there but you're long gone from here
Here is my love
If not now then tell me when
Can we look to the sky
And away from the end
What is this love?

There's a fork in the road up ahead
put it to sleep in it's napkin bed
besides the knife and silver spoon
atop a four legged table that won't be walking anytime soon

There's a creek in the basement stairs
where water runs from itself when it's scared
behind a wooden lock with a glass key
you twist and turn when there's something you wanna see

there's a pain in the window glass
that hurts more every time the house laughs
at her four story friend from across the way
that keeps telling her they're gonna live together one day
we'll all live together someday
we'll all live together someday

you come out crying swimming to the brim of the lake
then climb on out into another hole
where you are now and will forever be
a beartrap with dull teeth
and your gonna try and kick and scream
and set yourself free
but this traps been set for everyone
its the only one you can't succeed
you're the king of your character
you don't choose your story.
an eye for a sight costs an arm and a leg
you can rent a different life for less than a quarter a day
a far less price than the will it takes to go
but if you dont go now
then you'll sure as hell never know
you can't win! nobody can!
you've been walking thrugh life, left and right
but once you see the exit sign,
you'd better run from something you can't see in the night
the blind ones call it "the light"
but it's blinding
so there's no use in finding
what can't be found
and I raise my hand to bury the casket
full of ideas in the splintered winter ground
to place so much faith in something that makes you wait
they're only playing pretend until the end
when it's only you, you can't take
you love yourself as if you're someone else
and you'll sure as hell never know
you can't win, nobody can
you can't win, nobody can
ahhhhh

A family from one birthed another,
it's true we all came from each other
it's a tree, i'm a branch
I'll grow and leave and then fall to the ground
And then one day feed the other trees
with my skull, flesh, bones, blood, and teeth
I grew up myself now I'm planting seeds
for strangers in the same family.
Oh, time. Oh, time. how you change everything, but my mind
you continue on while i'm caught in the sugar and dirt of humankind
We're a family of gingerbread, cookie cut, white lined eyes and smiles
I took two steps and look back at miles
and I just realized I hadn't come from the horizon but I'm on my way there now
I just realized I hadn't come from he horizon but I'm on my way there now
I hadn't come from the horizon but I'm on my there now, on my way there now
I hadn't come from the horizon but I'm on my way there now,
on my way there now
on my way there now
on my way there now
Oh, time. Oh, time. I should open my eyes next time you pass, pass me by
Instead I take two steps and look back at miles and miles and miles and miles.
