[Verse 1]
I'm shrouded and sedated
Patiently awaiting
For my mind to really come down
I'm afraid of being hated
'Cause I'm so jaded
Not like everybody somehow
Trapped underneath the stairs
Dealing with the fears
Constantly it's silent and loud

[Chorus]
I am who I am
There's nothing I can do
I try to hide it
And it keeps breaking through
I feel the world so different
Than anyone of you
Remember who you are
There's nothing you can do

[Verse 2]
I'm constantly debating
Why I'm always playing
Walking around with my head down
I don't want to be like anyone
What the fuck could I have done
To deserve this terror somehow?
Trapped underneath the stairs
Dealing with the fears
Constantly it's silent and loud

[Chorus]
I am who I am
There's nothing you can do
I try to hide it
And it keeps breaking through
I feel this world so different
Than anyone of you
Remember who you are
There's nothing I can do

[Bridge]
I'm not like God
Can't hide what I am
Like it or not
I push it down, comes back again
The medicine stopped working long ago
I am the problem
Inside has nowhere to go
Inside has nowhere to go
Inside has nowhere to go
Inside has nowhere to go
Nowhere to fucking go

[Chorus]
I am who I am
There's nothing you can do
I try to hide it
And it keeps breaking through
I feel this world so different
Than anyone of you
Remember who you are
There's nothing I can do

[Outro]
You're always stuck with you
Nothing you can do
You're always stuck with you

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.”
