Oxygen 02:40
Pushed to extremes, and my heart is about to burst I can taste copper, but blood cannot curb my thirst Do I need to believe? Or do I disregard everything? Are you still part of me? Or do I disregard everything? Gracefully shed your shirt; give it to me as you burn You are so full of oxygen, so lacking fuel How do you light the path before you? Disregard everything? Disregard everything I am blind. You and I Fuck what you know, thieving tornado Turning and twisting around every word Slowly melting me—always changing me You think I’m better than I was before? I'm so ecstatic you fell from the sky No one more suited to teach and destroy So, we in turn forget and return To our withering, wanting existence

My choice to keep you, and every dance floor To be raised in natural grace and disregard It takes a place within my heart Build on bones and relearn See the stepping stones The light hits you—a grain of sand A pearl of hope; at last it starts The light hits you; a grain of sand Look at the children—mouths wide open Waking with open arms I will watch them grow and stray And I am . . . . Look at the children—mouths wide open Waking with open arms I will watch them grow and stray And I am the remains I am the remains.

Drama Queen 04:42
They're all waiting for something to break To melt, to have, to help, to wait You're all drama and bullshit fights Waiting for moments to fly by Faster than your mouth Before they are broken glass Pushing past your gestures Kaleidoscopic movement Even as a premonition Incomplete but weighted Silence again, and they're all One by one, they leave, and Everything they leave Behind is me I am just a nomad Coalescing for you Because you are from heaven And I can’t meet you there So touch my fire and tell me to shiver Or fight for me and maybe madly Insist that I’m not gone Insist that I’m not gone Keeps me pushing forward to the one Great big hemisphere, partly because it is right Partly because of spite, but mostly Because I hate you

My Alcove 04:28
Maladaptive coping mechanism It’s a way to stay alive Enema of the pain thought to be inside my blood Increased activity in the frontal cortex and Axis one, compulsion in the nucleus of my brain It’s a way to stay alive—a way to stay alive Maladaptive coping mechanism It’s a way to stay alive Enema of the pain thought to be inside my mind Increased activity in the frontal cortex and Axis one, compulsion in the nucleus of my brain It’s a way to stay alive—a way to stay alive Well, if you’re gonna go and talk down to me Lose your soul. We both know that our thinking Has to spin a little bit out of control, but It’s not just the drinking It’s a way Way to stay alive

The way that your hair smells at night When you are asleep and I am barely awake I have a hard time believing That I am not dreaming Smile on my sweet sunshine As if the rain is light and cleansing As if there is no disaster to ignore And tomorrow we will rise Because it’s true that I want to hold on to you Look into your eyes, and see through to you So that I can really see and dream a lasting dream Oh won’t you smile on my sweet sunshine As if the rain is light and cleansing As if there is no disaster to ignore And tomorrow we will rise As if my brothers won’t be taken if The bombs rain down on my back porch—here Down in this country…as if there is no disaster

Outcry 03:47
Breathe to forget, and let it all go Pain from the crash, punch in the wall Dying music plays an anthem of the end Create the finale, disintegrating Hiding and crushing truth away Locked box of blame. Pose and laugh out loud Scathing screams ring throughout An outcry for the done to undo Act the part in a play self written Let them all know it is perfect Melt inside, through saved time Push the glass tower over To the edge of almost nothing Let loose the blood, proving you live Embrace it all, and try to swallow Even the water that I hate Knowing nothing can be mended Change it all before it is too late The singular, overworked mess The struggle past my own distress Words from without are unending While drowning in the shallow end

Fear 03:34
Walk into the dark. Keep your head low Walk into the dark. Cover your eyes I am waiting here. I am waiting here—primal memory I am waiting here, not far behind Go ahead now, into the alley dear Don't listen to me and see what you’ll find Fear can bind you, truss you up, throw you down Thousands of years won't be left behind Disbelief can't save you from shaking and Darwin can't save your foolish hide I am waiting here—primal memory I am waiting here, not far behind Go ahead now, into the alley dear Don't listen to me and see what you’ll find What does it feel like not to believe? Do you feel lost? Do you feel free? Do you feel wronged, or do you feel right? What does it feel like not to believe? What does it feel like not to believe And what does it feel like not to be free? Fear can bind you, truss you up, throw you down Thousands of years won't be left behind Disbelief can't save you from shaking And Darwin can't save your foolish hide I am waiting here—primal memory I am waiting here, not far behind Go ahead now, into the alley dear Don't listen to me and see what you will find

Median 04:02
He was such a fractured soul—lost his family To a round of bipolar manic fantasy And no pills could bring him down Nothing gave him solid ground Now he’s gone without a sound Living on the streets He’s a midway Jesus He’s a holy man Made of psychic diseases Lost in Neverland Follow me to my concrete tomb, where the sleeping bag stays On this caustic avenue built on shards of shame Just ignore the help me sign Burning here in malady Look down from your holy perch Don’t try to liberate me Life itself is just a row of cages Close the door, and leave me to my own Nothing is real when nothing is real, and Nothing is real when nothing is real! Swallow me whole, or save me now Tear me apart, or save me Swallow me whole, or save me now Tear me apart, or save me

Muse 03:24
I know that she's waiting out there I see her stand and wave there I know that she wants to come and stay Her voice is as sweet as clover I hope she be waiting down there I hope to wake up before she breaks The muse is waiting—the muse is waiting She's standing right outside the door I have to open up and find a little bit of courage To open up and let her in I know that she's waiting out there She stands and waves there I know that she wants to come and say Her voice is sweet as clover I know she be waiting down there Standing outside the doorway The muse is waiting Outside the master bedroom, and hating Every old ship that comes flying by She hopes to bring all of them sinners Out of their dusty graves, well I hope them bones ain't rotten now

A Letter 04:15
This is my prison Only a concept Trapped here forever Until I’m done bleeding Daddy dearest thought that I would write you a letter Tell you ‘bout the times I’ve had since I last saw you Life is hard, and times are tough, but I don’t get hit You were left behind, with fear and all my loathing I remember how you said the end was coming Now my hairs are slowly graying, and I’m aging Every day I make mistakes that I must pay for Do you think your savior came when you weren’t looking? This is my prison Only a concept Trapped here forever Until I’m done bleeding Sending out signals without any answers Mailing a letter all the way to him Only to have it disappear Only to have it disappear - Louis Murphy

Jim Theory 04:13
It should be clear as day I have purpose Halting and passively Silent but truthful Lying in loyalty I'm thankful that you Mold me so viciously Except for my simple Tri-angularity Harmony, partnership Trust, and belief Decisions best made while Still on my feet It’s hard to feed loyalty When my enemies Whisper half-truths In my ear What do I do? Who do I trust? I know that your smile And touch is a must It should be clear as day It should be clear as day No shell of my former self And I can breathe again It should be clear as day I have purpose Halting and passively Silent but truthful I grasp the meaning of What I mean to you Lying in malady Still a necessity I touch your distant cheek Shivering and naked We can breathe again

Viral 03:17
The ending is pause with clause Intelligence, and for years She holds on, and holds you up The ending is drowned. She is drowned I slip on blood, and it separates I fall. My head is cracked But not for her, no-no It's too late for more apologies On some weekdays I call the line Is it over? It's not me . . . . But Who's the daddy? Will he smile? Will she trap his eyes again? Oh yeah, she's a virus I slip on blood, and it separates; I Fall—my head is cracked But not for you—no-no It’s too late for more apologies

Walking Away 03:11
Trying so hard not to hurt you Every day is a desertion All I can do is turn my back again Walking away, I am walking away Walking away, I am walking away, and Holding on, tumbling Holding on and falling down I heard what it felt like to you And I know what it seemed like to me I’m sure it was much more extreme Than our words and emotions can tell Misted fear in my eyes, and Twisted fate in my throat Trying to look away Will the way ever be clear? I’m trying to look away . . . but the way will never be clear

about

Two Eyes for the Dead is a metal and hard rock band that shows incredible diversity over their thirteen track album, "Outcry." As the title suggests, many of the songs feature vocals that literally sound like Louis Murphy is crying out for help and the emotion behind his voice is clearly apparent. Featuring both heavily metal songs that are clearly influenced by the likes of Metallica and more downbeat, calm pieces, Two Eyes for the Dead covers a variety of emotional states while retaining a strong standard of musicianship that is apparent in their guitar and stunning drum sections.
