lyrics

dont look me in the eyes, i cant stand your face
i feel nothing for you time will not replace
so is it all over? did it go up in flames?
did you get what you want? do you feel the same?
i'm starting to think i never knew you at all

you're a silent voice that left me in the rain
you can always come back, but you cant come back the same
there's a debt you owe to the lord of the flies
and he's come to collect your clear blue skies
i'm starting to think i never knew you at all

stay down on bear creek
where the brook trout streams
and i know to you
it never meant anything

so go ahead and leave, take all of your things
even your memory will turn to a deafening ring
and i'll be outside with my clothes on your porch
however wronged you were, i was wronged more
i'm thinking to think i never knew you at all


did anybody care about the captain's fate?
when you pulled the plug and your ship sank
now you're gasping for air, drowning in the tide
only being held down by all of your lies
i'm starting to think i never knew you at all

stay down on bear creek
where the brook trout streams
and i know to you
it never meant anything

you get what you get, whatever that is
whatever i had was also his
but i'm not afraid to kill another man
i'll shoot the bastard down wherever he stands
i'm starting to think you never knew me at all

and while your living in a forest fire zone
the cold wind of conceit chills you to the bone
nobody could take whatever you never lost
there's no road to return when you burn bridges you cross
i'm starting to think you never knew me at all

stay down on bear creek
where the brook trout streams
and i know to you
it never meant anything

your black bird crows in the heat of the night
dont worry about me, babe, you know i'll survive
if you're floating up and out into space
watch out the hellfires don't sweep you away
i'm starting to think you never knew me at all

you made a deal with the devil, now your souls to burn
betrayal is sin, but it was yours to earn
the pastors are crying and your idols are mud
your cities are empty and your street full of blood
i'm starting to think you never knew me at all

stay down on bear creek
where the brook trout streams
and i know to you
it never meant anything

there's only one step you have to take to get to
the land that you wanted, but no one is there for you
you're life is an empty hall with no friends around
the ones you havent left are sleeping on the ground
i'm starting to think you never knew me at all

now your mind is entangled with dreams you once had
they're all gone away, but its not so bad
got all your effigies and the voices within
but the devil comes tapping and you'd let him in
i'm starting to think i never knew you at all

stay down on bear creek
where the brook trout streams
and you know to me
it meant something
