Effort

(album: Chastity Belt - 2019)

Running for cover
Into another
It's not what I need
But it seems to be what I want
Chasing a dream
A perfect vision of me
Could you show me what
I'm thinking could be real

I could be perfect
I could exist
Just how you need me
To be in this moment
Whatever you're feeling
I'll melt right in
I'm leaving myself
Behind again

Giving it
All away
It's effortless, effortless
Effort, it's effort, it's...

Trying to stay grounded
Get off the prowl
Stop shaping piles of dust
Into something that I want
But I'll keep searching
Looking for light
A single glint's enough
To send me jumping out of my skin

You could be perfect
You could fulfill
Every fantasy
I've made you into
Whatever I'm feeling
You'll make it real
Show me my good side
A rose-colored mirror

Giving it
All away
It's effortless, effortless
Effort, it's effort, it's...
