LADY​:​GESTALT

from DARKWORLD by The Doyenne

/

lyrics

I am my own worst enemy.
This sentiment I’ve explored once before and no conclusion ever gestates.
The cycle of self abuse continues and I eat, eat, and eat
Hoping that I’ll fade and waste away under the thump of the beat

In my mind, a sea of bodies waves in the wind
They’re lovers, liars, like me and yet I’m on the outside looking in
Music scales inhabit my lips but I can’t read the sounds
I’m a fool, shooting stars only to watch them come back down

Change. Change form. Lady Gestalt, the words form.
Change. Change form. Lady Gestalt is where my head always returns.

My body’s falling apart
My arms are frail, my back aches under the weight in my heart
I don’t sleep, only wait
until I accept that it’s far too late
to change, to change form, change shape.

Change. Change form. Lady Gestalt, I don’t understand the words.
Change. Change me. I form the words “Gestalt”, this is my shape and form.
