This time I'm taking it away, I've got a problem
With me getting in the way, my violent side
So I take my face and bash it into a mirror
I won't have to see the pain, pain, pain

This state is elevating, as the hurt turns into hating
Anticipating all the fucked-up feelings again

My hurt inside is fading, this shit's gone way too far
All this time I've been waiting, oh, I cannot grieve anymore
For what's inside awaking, I'm done, I'm not a whore
You've taken everything, and, oh, I cannot give anymore

My mind's done with this, okay, I've got a question
Can I throw it all away? Take back what's mine
So I take my time guiding the blade down the line
Each cut, closer to the vein, pain, pain

This state is elevating, as the hurt turns into hating
Anticipating all the fucked-up feelings again

My hurt inside is fading, this shit's gone way too far
All this time I've been waiting, oh, I cannot grieve anymore
For what's inside awaking, I'm done, I'm not a whore
You've taken everything, and, oh, I cannot give anymore

I'm here to stay
(Bring it down)
I'm here to stay
(Bring it down)
I'm here to stay
(Bring it down)
I'm here to stay
Bring it down, bring it down, bring it down, bring it down!

Gonna bring it down, gonna break it down
Gonna break it down, gonna break it down, gonna break it down
Gonna break it down, gonna break it down, gonna break it

This state is elevating, as the hurt turns into hating
Anticipating all the fucked-up feelings again

My hurt inside is fading, this shit's gone way too far
All this time I've been waiting, oh, I cannot grieve anymore
For what's inside awaking, I'm done, I'm not a whore
You've taken everything, and, oh, I cannot give anymore

Give anymore, give anymore, give anymore, give anymore

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.”
