[Verse 1]
I know what you're thinking
I know what you're feeling
I know where everything in this world surrounds me
I feel your breathing
I feel your screaming
I feel I can't go nowhere in this world without leaving

[Chorus]
My mind plays tricks on me
I can't control it you see
I feel it beating down the fake around me
My mind plays tricks on me
It's unbelievable to see
I'm always testing the shit around me

[Verse 2]
Let me tell you something
This shit is beaming
It won't leave me alone
My disease unseen
You think you feel me
You think you know me
'Cause I'm the hell in your head

[Chorus]
My mind plays tricks on me
I can't control it you see
I feel it beating down the fake around me
My mind plays tricks on me
It's unbelievable to see
I'm always testing the shit around me

[Bridge]
Are you ready to live?
Are you ready to die?
All I do is give
Am I wasting my time?
I am ready to live
I am ready to die
All I do is give
Am I wasting my time?
Yes, I'm ready to live
Yes, I'm ready to die
All I do is give
Am I wasting my time?
Am I wasting my time?
Am I wasting my time?
Am I wasting my time?

[Chorus]
My mind plays tricks on me
I can't control it you see
I feel it beating down the fake around me
My mind plays tricks on me
It's unbelievable to see
I'm always testing the shit around me

[Outro]
Are you ready to live?
Are you ready to die?
All I do is give
Am I wasting my time?
I am ready to live
I am ready to die
All I do is give
Am I wasting my time?
All I do is give
All I do is give
All I do is give

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.”
