[Intro]
Pain!

[Verse 1]
Buried so far away
Into my life of nothing

[Chorus]
Sick of the same old thing!
So I dig a hole and bury pain!
Sick of the same old thing!
So I dig a hole and bury pain!

[Verse 2]
I am so high always
Burying my life so slowly

[Chorus]
Sick of the same old thing!
So I dig a hole and bury pain!
Sick of the same old thing!
So I dig a hole and bury pain!
Sick of the same old thing!
So I dig a hole and bury pain!
Sick of the same old thing!
So I dig a hole and bury pain!

[Verse 3]
It opens my mind to feelings
Can't face boredom without something

[Chorus]
Sick of the same old thing!
So I dig a hole and bury pain!
Sick of the same old thing!
So I dig a hole and bury pain!
Sick of the same old thing!
So I dig a hole and bury pain!
Sick of the same old thing!
So I dig a hole and bury pain!

[Bridge]
Re-entering my head
Feeling like I'm God
With the world around me
Can't you feel this pain?
Reaming through my heart!
Screaming through my voice!
Nothing I can kill!
Screaming a lie I am!
Can't you tear my eyes out?
Can't you take my heart away to heart?
Goodbye

[Chorus]
Sick of the same old thing!
So I dig a hole and bury pain!
Sick of the same old thing!
So I dig a hole and bury pain!
Sick of the same old thing!
So I dig a hole and bury pain!
Sick of the same old thing!
So I dig a hole and bury pain!

[Outro]
Pain!
Pain!
Pain!
Pain!
Pain!
Pain!
Pain!

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.”
