Confidant
Chris Ayer

“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 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

As a person in limbo
I’m 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

square peg, round hole
unwieldy soul
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
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

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