Better Men

Bare to the bone You strike me bare to the bone I am not moved by mountains I am not moved by stones Bare to the bone You strike me bare to the bone I am not moved by mountains I am not moved by stone Better men have seen me and moved out of my way Better men have seen me and stepped out of my way But you knew me and you saw me And you were a part of the forming of me Better men have seen me and stepped out of my way But you were unaware and you remain You've struck me to the bone You've struck me to the bone And my marrow is still recovering And my habits are still forming You cut me to the bone You helped me form the habits that I know The way I think The way I process The way I interact with me fears Better men have seen me and they've stepped aside Better men have seen me and they've left my life But you were there unaware And you remain a distant figure unaware You've cut me to the bone And you're trying to make it better on your own But you can't cos you don't have the tools But you can't cos you never had a muse And I've accepted that you are what you are and this is how you'll remain But better men would have got out of my way
