[Verse 1]
Mother!
You're holding my heart, screaming
Motherfucker!
They left me broken, bleeding
Son of...
The man you loved and left for
The son of a bitch!
Who tried to show me death's door
Everything's eliminated
Everything is dedicated
Tried to leave this life I hated
Living it was overrated

[Chorus]
Love song for the dear departed
Head stone for the broken hearted
Arms to kill or flowers to steal?
Head trip for the mortal earthbound
One sip of the blood that I found
Lying here, I'm dying here

[Verse 2]
Ash and
Obituaries rain down
And suddenly
We're lying naked face down
What's it like decapitated?
Can't you see me fascinated?
You're the only thing I've damaged
Only death can be mismanaged

[Chorus]
Love song for the dear departed
Head stone for the broken hearted
Arms to kill or flowers to steal?
Head trip for the mortal earthbound
One sip of the blood that I found
Lying here, I'm dying here

[Verse 3]
Don't bring me Daffodils
Bring a bouquet of pills
Seeds of Geranium
Cracked to the cranium
Protect me when you can
Respect me when I am dying

[Chorus]
Love song for the dear departed
Head stone for the broken hearted
Arms to kill or flowers to steal?
Head trip for the mortal earthbound
One sip of the blood that I found
Lying here, I'm dying here
Love song for the dear departed
Head stone for the broken hearted
Arms to kill or flowers to steal?
Head trip for the mortal earthbound
One sip of the blood that I found
Lying here, I'm dying here

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.”
