[Verse 1]
Cracked phone line means nothing
My brain's in fights and vain
My breathing so shallow
It helps to curb the pain
What's outside, sneaks inside
How we contaminate
This warzone of my soul
I underestimate

[Chorus]
I've never really thought about it that much
It's only ever violence that's in my touch
Appears, appears, appears, I am built this way
Appears, appears, appears, I am built this way

[Verse 2]
The pills they, quit working
They take more than they give
Emotions on flat line
It's all that I can give
The rising, the falling
My mind keeps tricking me
It throws me a life raft
Then leaves me out at sea

[Chorus]
I've never really thought about it that much
It's only ever violence that's in my touch
Appears, appears, appears, I am built this way
Appears, appears, appears, I am built this way
I've never really thought about it that much
It's only ever violence that's in my touch
Appears, appears, appears, I am built this way
Appears, appears, appears, I am built this way

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.”
