Oh I Know 01:09
people grow & people change & oh i know i cover my eyes
2.
Paper Bag 03:26
i've got fingers & hands I've got a head for a heart i got a new pair of pants i got a party to start you hold hands with balloons as we walk in the park i'm getting tired of you & your clever remarks i like kissing boys in the dark on the couch on the weekend in my girlfriend's house i got a paper bag on my head with a smile painted on in red there's a cut in my mouth that i can't help but tongue i'm 20 but i feel so goddamn young i guess you gotta be drunk to be grown up i'll throw up & i'll throw us to the sharks i like kissing boys in the dark on the couch on the weekend in my girlfriend's house my head's my home my body a tomb
3.
there's a car at my house the taste of blood's in my mouth spit it out it keeps coming back again i spit it out but it comes back there's a door in my mouth i keep it shut for now i'm afraid awful thing might come out on my back the trees sway drunk & angry & i know that you won't save me from this the sky's all black
4.
Tambourine 02:18
my tambourine i'll shake it headache aching til my ears they bleed & you can't see my face in all the places that we'll never be & that's fine with me my tambourine i'll shake it fucking waking up the kids asleep their ABCs & 123s they had it easier than me or so it seemed first you have it then you lose it relax it's just amusing to be like me if they want it then they take it if not for real they fake it so expertly (oh my god) my tambourine i'll shake it limbs a-breaking got my mouth to feed i don't want i need i stuff it while my stomach eats the rest of me cuz my brain's hungry there's snakes in your grandmother's basement there's pictures to take in the hall i fell you didn't call it was done after all got a mind to do something that i don't normally do i've got a mind to do something that i would not normally do
5.
Chickenshit 01:56
saying bloody marys in the dark the mirror can't see where we are & i forgot where the lights turn on we'll grow old & watch our bodies fall apart so we sever like an untied knot & i don't want to be just another one & i wanna dance naked in the rain with a smile on my face that makes me look insane all i see in front of me is emptiness all i see in front of me's a wall that's painted black your comfortable chickenshit life
6.
a swarm of bees goes in my ears & out my mouth it's all i hear so all the time it drowns you out fills me up so it's all right
7.
i wanna kiss you at a party & never talk to you again remember just the touch of your lips & the softness of your skin i'm spent i always kinda knew you did this i guess it's just the way it is but i'm thinking maybe it's a bandwagon worth boarding oh maybe this time count me in i'm empty like a savings bank on xmas & spiders stitch messages in my head except i'm not some prize pig worth fair-bringing, no put an apple in my mouth instead i'm spent (saying bloody marys in the dark) (mirror can't see where we are)
8.
Walla 00:29
the emptiness grows it swallows everything
9.
Get Young 02:08
there were drugs & a boy who could swim in the ocean with lungs that breathed underwater & just because you're the subject of the songs that i sung don't mean that you wanna get young so we drink & we fuck & forget about love but i guess that we outta i'm nothing but a kid not 21 not anyone but i got a drink to sip that'll fuck me up like a bottle of vodka i'll get drunk & beat a drum that all of us can march along to

about

"In the summer of 2009, Joel Murray broke his wrist training for a then upcoming bike tour. His summer plans shattered, he purchased two casio keyboards for $15, teaching himself to play. The Broken Wrist EP is the culmination of his time alone reflecting. A departure from the rocking guitars of his previous album Young, this EP explores sound collages, drum machines, samples, and chirpy synths, all combined with dark lyrics. If Young is the beginning of a Saturday night party, then The Broken Wrist EP is waking up drunk in the police station not knowing what happened." - Silent Home Records
