[Verse 1]
Feeling out of place
Something must be wrong
Emotions in my space
Tight grip holding on
I can't control the events around me
I can't console the stress inside me
And once I turn off my brain
I realize I am alive

[Chorus]
I want you to see
I'm trying to please
Everyone around me!
I'm down on my knees
The stress makes me bleed
It feels like they're all stabbing me!

[Verse 2]
Feeling out of place
Why must I hold on?
Anger I can taste
Tight-lipped self is gone
I can't control the events around me
I can't console the stress inside me
And once I turn off my brain
I realize I am alive

[Chorus]
I want you to see
I'm trying to please
Everyone around me!
I'm down on my knees
The stress makes me bleed
It feels like they're all stabbing me!

[Bridge]
What the fuck do you want from me?
I am just a human being!
Living my life to please everyone!
I can't do this anymore!
Being everybody's whore!
Being everybody's whore!
Being everybody's whore!
Being everybody's whore!
For once, I'm gonna stand up and please me!

[Chorus]
I want you to see
I'm trying to please
Everyone around me!
I'm down on my knees
The stress makes me bleed
It feels like they're all stabbing me!

[Outro]
Being everybody's whore!
Being everybody's whore!
Being everybody's whore!
Being everybody's whore!

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.”
