[Verse 1]
Flesh wound, flesh wound
With medication, it will fade
Should I assume
That someone hears me when I pray?

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Love, full of hate
Don't you love
How I break?

[Chorus]
Don't let them throw me away!
(Aah-ha)
Keep me and I'll be okay!
(Aah-ha)
Skipping a beat, but it plays!
(Aah-ha)
Don't let them throw me away!
(Aah-ha)
Don't let them throw me away!

[Verse 2]
Screwed up, used up
Crumble lying on the floor
Fucked up, shut up
All you did back then was score

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I'm feeling weak
Missing parts
Incomplete!

[Chorus]
Don't let them throw me away!
(Aah-ha)
Keep me and I'll be okay!
(Aah-ha)
Skipping a beat, but it plays!
(Aah-ha)
Don't let them throw me away!
(Aah-ha)
Don't let them throw me away!

[Bridge]
Hold me up into the light
Fix the cracks and fix them right
Keep the pieces in the drawer
Keep them there forever more
Wake a million thoughts someday
Recycle this shit in someway
And all that I have to say
Don't let them throw me away

[Chorus]
Don't let them throw me away!
(Aah-ha)
Keep me and I'll be okay!
(Aah-ha)
Skipping a beat, but it plays!
(Aah-ha)
Don't let them throw me away!
(Aah-ha)
Don't let them throw me away!

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.”
