[Verse 1: Jonathan Davis]
I'd like to search inside for the things that you will hide..
What's the problem?
Can't you seem to!
Search through these problems that haunt and taunt you?
I smile/While you're afraid!/You run/While your soul pays!

[Chorus: Head & Jonathan Davis]
Do you ever see outside your fears?
Thinking about your life!
Thinking about your inner fear?
Do you ever see it outside your fears?
Thinking about your life!
Thinking about your inner fear?

[Verse 2: Jonathan Davis]
I'd like to search inside for the things that you will hide!
What's the problem?
Can't you seem to..
Open your body and let me touch you!

[Chorus: Head & Jonathan Davis]
Do you ever see outside your fears?
Thinking about your life!
Thinking about your inner fear?
Do you ever see it outside your fears?
Think about your life!
Think about your FEAR...

[Bridge]
I want you to see/The life you have disguised
For all these things that hurt you, kept all these useless lies
I wanted you to fear, fill you on up inside
Once I took you in/I'll throw you out next time
I tried/You win!
My life/Is ripping your heart out and destroying my pain!
(GO!)

[Chorus: Head & Jonathan Davis]
Do you ever see outside your fears?
Thinking about your life!
Thinking about your inner fear?
Do you ever see it outside your fears? (I'm fine)
Thinking about your life! (I'm fine..)
Thinking about your inner fear? (I'm fine!)
Do you ever see outside your fears?
Thinking about your life!
Thinking about your inner fear?
Do you ever see it outside your fears?
Thinking about your life!
Thinking about your...?

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.”
