[Verse 1]
I never knew what I was gonna be
Somebody saw what I couldn't see
And lifted me up now
I never thought I could be worthy of
Loving under the sky above
Don't let the wonderful
Why does everybody have to fit in?
Yo should feel so damn comfortable in the skin
Does that mean I am the...
Souvenir of sadness
Method to the madness
Hands up if you feel this
Anyone who has this...

[Chorus]
Stand up, nobody's dying to save you!
Speak up, nobody's waiting to see you!
Wake up, nobody's working to pay you!
Let me make it clear you'll have this...
Back then, nobody knew in the schoolyard!
Now then, you have grown up to be this hard!
Go then, walk through this world with your heart scarred!
You're the souvenir of sadness

[Verse 2]
They never knew what I was gonna say
Punch me and kick me and run away
You know who you are so...
Now look at me what do you have to say
Never cared much for you anyway
You know who you are so...
Now look at me what do you have to say
Never give up for you anyway
Happy childhood back-lash
Souvenir of sadness
Method to the madness
Hands up if you feel this
Anyone who has this...

[Chorus]
Stand up, nobody's dying to save you!
Speak up, nobody's waiting to see you!
Wake up, nobody's working to pay you!
Let me make it clear you'll have this...
Back then, nobody knew in the schoolyard!
Now then, you have grown up to be this hard!
Go then, walk through this world with your heart scarred!
You're the souvenir of sadness

Let me make it clear you'll have this...
Back then, nobody knew in the schoolyard!
Now then, you have grown up to be this hard!
Go then, walk through this world with your heart scarred!
You're the souvenir of sadness...

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.”
