[Verse 1]
Come on, step inside
And you will realize
Tell me what you need
Tell me what to be
What's your vision you'll see?
What do you expect of me?
I can't live that lie

[Chorus]
Hate a sick mom with a fucked dad
Dealing with your life dead bodies everywhere
You really want me to be a good son
Why you make me feel like no one?

[Verse 2]
Let me strip the plain
Let me not give in
Free me of your lies
Inside my heart dies
Your dreams never achieved
Don't lay that shit on me
Let me live my life

[Chorus]
Hate a sick mom with a fucked dad
Dealing with your life dead bodies everywhere
You!
Really want me to be a good son
Why you make me feel like no one?

[Bridge]
You want me to be something I can never ever be!
You want me to be something I can never ever be!

[Chorus]
A sick mom with a fucked dad
Dealing with your life dead bodies everywhere
You really want me to be a good son
Why you make me feel like no one?

[Outro]
Dead bodies everywhere!
Dead bodies everywhere!
Dead bodies everywhere!
Dead bodies everywhere!
Dead bodies everywhere!
Dead bodies everywhere!
Dead bodies everywhere!
Dead bodies everywhere!

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.”
