[Verse 1]
Beating the fall, I can't help but desire of
Falling down this time
Deep in this hole of my making, I can't escape
Falling all this time

[Chorus]
We come to this place, falling through time
Living a hollow life
Always we're taking, waiting for signs
Hollow lives

[Verse 2]
Fearing to fall and still the ground below me calls
Falling down this time
Ripping apart all these things I have tried to stop
Falling all this time

[Chorus]
We come to this place, falling through time
Living a hollow life
Always we're taking, waiting for signs
Hollow lives

[Post-Chorus]
Is there ever any wonder, why we look to the sky?
Search in vain, asking why
All alone, where is God?
Looking down? We don’t know

[Bridge]
We fall in space, we can't look down
Death may come, peace I have found
What to say? Am I alive?
Am I asleep? Or have I died?

We fall in space (Haunting me), we can't look down (Haunting me)
Death may come, peace I have found
I want to say my whole life (Something takes a part of me)
Am I asleep? We fall down

[Chorus]
We come to this place, falling through time
Living a hollow life
Always we're taking, waiting for signs
Hollow lives

[Post-Chorus]
Is there ever any wonder why we look to the sky?
Search in vain, asking why
All alone, where is God?
Looking down, we don't know

Is there ever any wonder why we look to the sky?
Search in vain, asking why
All alone, where is God?
Looking down, we don't know

[Outro]
We fall in space, we can't look down
Death may come, peace I have found

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.”
