[Verse 1]
I've walked this world alone imprisoned by design
This broken bearer of shame is right here by my side

[Pre-Chorus]
Higher than the highest goes
Darker than the blackest hole
Feel myself release my soul
Sweet relief, my body goes

[Chorus]
Hate dominates
Everything I got on my plate
Feel the weight of my pain
Crushing my heart, it's sure to break
I know it really wants to hurt me for sure
I know it set me up, it's death premature

[Verse 2]
I've tossed my fears aside, engaged in my denial
I'm lost inside this space I find to be so vile

[Pre-Chorus]
Higher than the highest goes
Darker than the blackest hole
Feel myself release my soul
Sweet relief, my body goes

[Chorus]
Hate dominates
Everything I got on my plate
Feel the weight of my pain
Crushing my heart, it's sure to break
I know it really wants to hurt me for sure
I know it set me up, it's death premature

[Bridge]
It won't go away
This time it's here to stay
Somehow I'll never be the same
Another day, another way
Another reason for it to chip away
At everything I ever loved

[Chorus]
Hate dominates
Everything I got on my plate
Feel the weight of my pain
Crushing my heart, it's sure to break
I know it really wants to hurt me for sure
I know it set me up, it's death premature
Hate dominates
Everything I got on my plate
Feel the weight of my pain
Crushing my heart, it's sure to break
I know it really wants to hurt me for sure
Hurt me for sure

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.”
