Mountain Man from Proper Focus by NORTH OF US

You cannot tell me
You're not doomed just to repeat it
Those old wounds and ways embedded in your head
They keep right on lingering

It's true
My stomach's weakening
I wrestle with grizzlies for dead meat
They keep right on seasoning

And it is such a shame
How you feel you had to play it off
Braver one, almost gone
You'll say you're no more humble than me

You cannot sell me off
You land without seeds, playing dead
Temporary like all things
We'll keep right on through the spring

You've got a ways to roam
Head home and close your road from them
The braver ones you've known
Sink, drown, and become bones

I am no mountain man
Never to hide your hands again
My eyes are narrowing
We're seeking prominence
