[Verse 1]
I am watching the rise and fall of my salvation
There's so much shit around me, such a lack of compassion
I thought it would be fun and games, instead it's all the same
I want something to do, need to feel the sickness in you

[Chorus]
I feel the reason as it's leaving me, no, not again
It's quite deceiving as I'm feeling the flesh make me bad

[Verse 2]
All I do is look for you, another fix, you need it too
Just to get some sort of attention, attention
What does it mean to you? For me, it's something I just do
I want something, I need to feel the sickness in you

[Chorus]
I feel the reason as it's leaving me, no, not again
It's quite deceiving as I'm feeling the flesh make me bad
I feel the reason as it's leaving me, no, not again
It's quite deceiving as I'm feeling the flesh make me bad

[Outro]
I feel the reason as it's leaving me, no, not again
It's quite deceiving as I'm feeling the flesh make me bad
(Does it make me bad?)
I feel the reason as it's leaving me, no, not again
(Does it make me bad?)
It's quite deceiving as I'm feeling the flesh make me bad

(Does it make me bad?)
(Does it make me bad?)
(Does it make me bad?)
(Does it make me bad?)

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.”
