[Verse 1]
Pick me up
Been bleeding too long
Right here, right now
I'll stop it somehow

[Pre-Chorus]
I will make it go away
Can't be here no more
Seems this is the only way
I will soon be gone
These feelings will be gone
These feelings will be gone

[Chorus]
Now I see the times they change
Leaving doesn't seem so strange
I am hoping I can find
Where to leave my hurt behind

All the shit I seem to take
All alone I seem to break
I have lived the best I can
Does this make me not a man?

[Verse 2]
Shut me off
I'm ready, heart stops
I stand alone
Can't be on my own

[Pre-Chorus]
I will make it go away
Can't be here no more
Seems this is the only way
I will soon be gone
These feelings will be gone
These feelings will be gone

[Chorus]
Now I see the times they change
Leaving doesn't seem so strange
I am hoping I can find
Where to leave my hurt behind

All the shit I seem to take
All alone I seem to break
I have lived the best I can
Does this make me not a man?

[Bridge]
Am I going to leave this place?
What is it I'm hiding from?
Is there nothing more to come?
(Am I gonna leave this place?)

Is it only black in space?
Am I going to take its place?
Am I going to win this race?
(Am I gonna win this race?)

I guess God's up in this place
What is it that I've become?
Is there something more to come?
More to come

[Chorus]
Now I see the times they change
Leaving doesn't seem so strange
I am hoping I can find
Where to leave my hurt behind

All the shit I seem to take
All alone I seem to break
I have lived the best I can
Does this make me not a man?

Now I see the times they change
Leaving doesn't seem so strange
I am hoping I can find
Where to leave my hurt behind

All the shit I seem to take
All alone I seem to break
I have lived the best I can
Does this make me not a man?

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.”
