[Verse 1]
You came into my life
Without a single thing
I gave into your ways
Which left me with nothing
I've given into smiles
I fell for all your games
I wish so bad right now
I hadn't let you in

[Pre-Chorus]
Won't you get the fuck out of my face now?
Won't you get the fuck out of my face now?

[Chorus]
In the sea of life, you're just a minnow
Live your life insecure
Feel the pain of your needles
As they shit into my brain

[Verse 2]
I scream without a sound
How could you take away
Everything that I was
Made me a fucking slave
Your face that I despise
Your heart inside that's gray
I came today to say
You're fucked in every way

[Pre-Chorus]
Won't you get the fuck out of my face now?
Won't you get the fuck out of my face now?

[Chorus]
In the sea of life, you're just a minnow
Live your life insecure
I feel the pain of your needles
As they shit into my mind
You stole my life
Without a sign
You sucked me dry

[Bridge]
Won't you get the fuck out of my face now?
Won't you get the fuck out of my face now?
Won't you get the fuck out of my face now?
Won't you get the fuck out of my face now?
Won't you get the fuck out of my face now?
Won't you get the fuck out of my face now?
Won't you get the fuck out of my face now?
Won't you get the fuck out of my face now?

[Outro]
In the sea of life, you're just a minnow
Live your life insecure
Feel the pain of your needles
As they shit into my mind
You stole my life
Without a sign
You sucked me dry

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.”
