[Verse 1]
Here behind the curtain lies a darkness feeding
Pooled inside, in hunger cries, and still it's eating
Everything I had to hide is all on my sleeve
And behind the curtain lies my soul, I’m bleeding

[Pre-Chorus]
And I see it
Can't believe it
And the sun goes down
Taking my heart

[Chorus]
What is this I'm feeling?
Is it a new beginning?
Am I purging past regrets
Facing the hurt I’m dealing?
How does one start healing?
The darkness is revealing
The bittersweet reality
That this is the help I'm needing

[Verse 2]
Why must I be bastardized? My essence flees
Search my mind and all I find is banded feelings
Once you pull the bandage off, you feel the sting
Only way to fix it is through painful suffering

[Pre-Chorus]
And I see it
Can't believe it
And the sun goes down
Taking my heart

[Chorus]
What is this I'm feeling?
Is it a new beginning?
Am I purging past regrets
Facing the hurt I'm dealing?
How does one start healing?
The darkness is revealing
The bittersweet reality
That this is the help I'm needing

[Bridge]
Take a look around at the morning star, he's coming for me
Take a look around at the morning star, he's coming for me
Take a look around at the morning star, he’s coming for me
Take a look around at the morning star, he’s coming for me
Take a look around at the morning star, he's coming for me
Take a look around at the morning star, he’s coming for me
Take a look around at the morning star, he's coming for me
Take a look around at the morning star, he's coming for me
Is he friend, is he foe, is he high, is he low?
Where the fuck I'm supposed to go?
Where the fuck I’m supposed to go?
Take a look around at the morning star, he's coming for me
Take a look around at the morning star, he's coming for me
Is he friend, is he foe, is he high, is he low?
Where the fuck I'm supposed to go?
Where the fuck I'm supposed to go?
Feel me, heal me
All that's in me
Give it all back
I can't have this
Feeling, failing
All that's creating

[Outro]
Fuck out
Get the fuck out
Get the fuck out
Get the fuck out
Get the fuck out
Get the fuck out

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.”
