My Lobotomy

from Lifer: Greatest Hits by Mark Weir

/

about

Mark has the ability to write deep, challenging pieces that pushed the bands he has been in to be better, but he also possesses the skill to write more accessible songs, and yet somehow retain a level of depth. This track was an early addition to the Shift (2000-03) repertoire and was one of the two songs that was given to local Wellington producer of Fur Patrol's "Pet" album, Mike Gibson.

The track is a commentary of the deep social issues that arise out of many Middle Eastern conflicts.

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 brother’s eyes
Forgive me as I cause you pain
I do it at a personal gain

Who’s gonna take you apart and put you back again
Pieces are 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
