My Lobotomy [Bonus Track]

from STRGPXI​+​KL by STRGPXI

/

about

After the band played as George Michael Jackson in 2012, the band came back, for the first time as STRGPXI, as a four-piece for the Lower Hutt Battle of the Bands in 2013. Dave, Neil, Aaron and myself played a short set which we organised, learnt, practiced and performed all in three days.

One of the tracks played that night was Shift's My Lobotomy. When STRGPXI reformed in 2015 for this project, one of the first tracks the band played was this one, and the band continued to use it as part of their practice routine. This, their best take of it, it represented here for you to enjoy.

lyrics

My sunlight on your fallen sky
My moonbeams, on your setting smile
Like brothers, we are meant to be
Aggression, forming naturally
Forgiveness equals compromise
In my other brothers eyes
Forgive me as I bring you pain
I do it at a personal gain

Who’s gonna take you apart and put you back again
Pieces missing only then you’ll be my friend
Sworn enemies with reasons not to be
Lie closer now it’s my Lobotomy

I’m watching over passive skies
I’m searching for aggressive eyes
I’ll push you, and then you’ll push me
The feeling, Oh so naturally,
Keep pushing, if it takes my life
My seven sons to sacrifice,
The only hand I give to you
Is bloodstained and unshaken too
