Korn

[Verse 1]
Outside I'm looking for an answer
Cause inside is gone
Each step the ground beneath me starts to break
I can't hold on

[Pre-Chorus]
(Hey you) Been hurting for a lifetime
(Hey you) What for?

[Chorus]
I can't break it
Hurt is sacred all along
The sting of depression follows
I can't fix it
Pieces don't fit, things are worn
Destroyed by a penance to sorrow

[Verse 2]
Look out, the feeling's rushing back again
Too much, too numb
It's ripped the seam, I stitch it up again
Somehow it stays on

[Pre-Chorus]
(Hey you) Been hurting for a lifetime
(Hey you) What for?

[Chorus]
I can't break it
Hurt is sacred all along
The sting of depression follows
I can't fix it
Piecеs don't fit things are worn
Destroyed by a pеnance to sorrow

[Bridge]
Staring back at me
I won't ever be free
Go go go
Never be free
Go go go
Never be free
(I can't break it)
(I can't fix it)

[Chorus]
I can't break it
Hurt is sacred all along
The sting of depression follows
I can't fix it
Pieces don't fit things are worn
Destroyed by a penance to sorrow

[Chorus]
I can't break it
Hurt is sacred all along
The sting of depression follows
I can't fix it
Pieces don't fit things are worn
Destroyed by a penance to sorrow

Go! Go! Go!

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.”
