[Verse 1]
I, I am confused, fighting myself
Wantin' to give in, needin' your help
Skin cold with fear, feel it when we touch
Outside, don't know you, but inside, I'm fucked

[Verse 2]
Can you see it in me?
Skin cold from touch
Each day, confronted with what I have done
You pull me closer, I push you away
You tell me it's okay, I can't help but feel the pain

[Chorus 1]
I hate you
Why are you taken?
I love you
Why do I feel so helpless?
Why is it you
Ripping my insides each time I'm here with you?
Why do I cry?
Why do I really need to?

[Post-Chorus]
Why?
Why?
Why?
Why?
Fuck you, bitch
Ugh

[Bridge]
Need to
Need to
Need to
Fuck
Fuck
Fuck
Fuck

[Chorus 2]
I hate you
Why are you taken?
I loved you
I feel so helpless
Why is it you
Ripping my insides each time I lay with you?
Why do I try?
Why do I fucking need to?

[Outro]
Fuck
Fuck
Fuck
Fuck
Fuck
Fuck
Fuck
Slut

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.”
