[Verse 1]
There you are my precious
Not long ago
Hiding behind the shadows
Of your broken soul
Why is it always you want something
You can never have?
Why did you try to tell me?
How could you be this way?

[Chorus]
Your throat I take grasp
Then your eyes roll back
Love racing through my veins
Your heart stops beating
Black orgasms
I kiss your lifeless skin

[Verse 2]
There you are my precious
With your broken soul
Rubbing my crotch elated
Taking control
Why is it always you fuck up something
You have always had?
Why'd you try to tell me?
How could you be so cold?

[Chorus]
Your throat I take grasp
Then your eyes roll back
Love racing through my veins
Your heart stops beating
Black orgasms
I kiss your lifeless skin

[Verse 3]
Here I am, just a man
Feeling pain, gives me life
Relieving us is my plan
I'd do anything just to see through your eyes
Just to see through your eyes
Just to see through your eyes
Just to see through your eyes
Just to see through your eyes
Just to see through your eyes
Just to see through your eyes
Just to see through your eyes
Just to see through your...

[Bridge]
I hate you!
Can't you feel the pain?
I hate you!
Can't you feel the pain?
I hate you!
Can't you feel the pain?
I hate you!
Can't you feel the pain?
I hate you!
Can't you feel the pain?
I hate you!
Can't you feel the pain?
I hate you!
Can't you feel the pain?
I hate you!

[Chorus]
Your throat I take grasp
Then your eyes roll back
Love racing through my veins
Your heart stops beating
Black orgasms
I kiss your lifeless skin
Lifeless skin!
Lifeless skin!
Lifeless skin!
Lifeless skin!

Bakersfield friends James “Munky” Shaffer, Reginald “Fieldy” Arvizu and David Silveria formed the funk-rock band LAPD in 1989 and moved to Los Angeles with another friend Brian “Head” Welch as their roadie. Later, with Welch as second guitarist, the band named themselves Creep and recorded a demo with pal Ross Robinson.

However, when Shaffer and Welch visited family in Bakersfield, they met Jonathan Davis who added a darker, goth-tinged edge to the band’s heavy groove. Robinson

The band wasn’t dark yet; it had, like, killer grooves and good riffs, but there was some happy edge to it. And when (Davis) walked into the room, it went dark and goth. Basically, during the first song, to audition in the rehearsal room, he started freaking the hell out [laughs]. You couldn’t hear his voice, but you felt chills all over your body, and it was instantly like, “Oh my God, yeah – he’s the one.”
