[Verse 1]
I can't bare to face what's growing in my head
Please get away from me
Take advantage of what I still guess you do
One day you'll beg for me

[Chorus]
So I'm saying nothing
Each day taking that much more
As I'm screaming all my pain
You will be there counting

[Verse 2]
You just see me as something you throw around
You aren't there for me
Beaten down to the ground, yes it always seems
You take more from me

[Chorus]
So I'm saying nothing
Each day taking that much more
As I'm screaming all my pain
You will be there counting

[Bridge]
It's funny how it gets started
They get their money grubbing fingers on you
They get your money, and the girls, and the fame
I only do it for the fun and for games
It's funny how it gets started
They get their money grubbing fingers on you
They get your money, and the girls, and the fame
I only do it for the fun, that's my game

[Chorus]
So I'm saying nothing
Each day taking that much more
As I'm screaming all my pain
You will be there counting
So I'm saying nothing
Each day taking that much more
As I'm screaming all this pain
You will be there counting

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.”
