[Verse 1]
Lately, things won't go my way
Lately, everything is gray
It feels like something
It feels like nothing

[Chorus]
So I came too far!
To end up this way!
Feeling like I'm God!
Feeling there's no way!

[Verse 2]
So I'm angry for today
Anger's the only thing I've made
It feels like something
No, it's nothing

[Chorus]
So I came too far!
To end up this way!
Feeling like I'm God!
Feeling there's no way!
To live this way

[Verse 3]
Hating, feeling, falling
To the place where people haunt me
I can't help but keep from falling
To the place where people call me
I can't wait to give them these feelings of hating
Keeping inside me for all to take
Picking at me, they're ripping at me
Ripping at me!

[Chorus]
So I came too far!
To end up this way!
Feeling like I'm God!
Feeling there's no way!
So I came too far!
To end up this way!
Feeling like I'm God!
Feeling there's no way!

[Outro]
To live this way
Live this way

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.”
