Chris Ayer – Confidant lyrics

“Gratification is delayed”
I heard it as a drove away
so I’ll go count my blessings for a while

I know it’s gonna take a little time
to get my manic streak in line
and find a blend of temperance and style

I live but I never learn
so I take some overtime to find some money to burn
I’m another dog out looking for the day
Ignorant bliss is a curse I’m sure
so I get wise and dirty, not so pretty or pure
I’d rather get roughed up to get my way
So I get roughed up and sing
about the joy that I’m gonna bring

As a person in limbo
I’m just a man in progress
I’m another guy involved in all the things that I think I want
but right now I could use –
right now I won’t abuse it –
right now I could use a confidant

Children these days drink red wine
to find their glory in designing
methods to perfect and to integrate

A bloody bird, a curse in flight
taking wing so that he might
ascend earn a profit share, to find a mate
ain’t it great?

He lives but he never learns
he takes his overtime to find some money to burn
another a dog out looking for the day
Ignorant bliss is a curse I’m sure
so I stay wise and dirty, not so pretty or pure
I’d rather get roughed up to get my way
So I get roughed up and sing
about the joy that I’m gonna bring

CH(repeat)

Square peg, round hole
unwieldy mould
with enough sandpaper your gonna fit just fine
square peg, round hole
unwieldy soul
with enough sandpaper, enough cement
with enough elbow-grease, and enough regret
you’re gonna fit just—
you’re gonna fit. just. fine
