[Verse 1]
How did it start?
Well, I don't know, I just feel the craving
I see the flesh, and it smells fresh
And it's just there for the taking
These little girls
They make me feel so goddamn exhilarated
I fill them up, I can't give it up
The pain that I'm just erasing

[Bridge]
I tell my lies, and I despise
Every second I'm with you
So I run away, and you still stay
So what the fuck is with you?

[Chorus]
Your feelings, I can't help but rape them!
I'm sorry, I don't feel the same!
My heart inside is constantly hating!
I'm sorry, I just throw you away!

[Verse 2]
I don't know why I'm so fucking cold
I don't know why it hurts me
All I wanna do is get with you
And make the pain go away
Why do I have a conscience?
All it does is fuck with me
Why do I have this torment?
All I wanna do is fuck it away

[Bridge]
I tell my lies, and I despise
Every second I'm with you
So I run away, and you still stay
So what the fuck is with you?

[Chorus]
Your feelings, I can't help but rape them!
And I'm sorry, I don't feel the same!
My heart inside is constantly hating!
I'm sorry, I just throw you away!

[Bridge]
I tell my lies, and I despise
Every second I'm with you
And I run away and you still stay
So what the fuck is with you?

[Chorus]
Your feelings, I can't help but rape them!
I'm sorry, I don't feel the same!
My heart inside is constantly hating!
I'm sorry, I just throw you away!

[Outro]
Just throw you away!
Just throw you away!
Just throw you away!

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.”
