if i move it won't go away

"If you don't accessorize, it never looks finished."

if i move it won't go away
i can't move i have to stay very still
an old fashioned way of thinking
that it will go away

think if i were dead
that you'd have to reconstruct
from evidence distorted
making me look dead

i moved it didn't go away
but then it stopped i stopped too
it gave me gift of a chance
it didn't go away it played dead

it played dead i died
it didn't go away i'm dead

if i move it goes away

"If accessorized, it never looks finished."

if i move it goes away
i move i can't stay still
brand new thought
that it takes me there

think if i were there
you'd just have to look
clearly, and i'd look
alive and purely

i moved it went away
it went and i went too
so uplifting and all
it went away like life

it was born and me too
it went away i'm moving
